Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 3 7- ounce salsa verde or 3 cups, canned
- 10 ounce diced tomato drained, canned
- 10 ounce green chili drained, canned
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 flour tortillas burrito sized
- sour cream for serving
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 350F and spray or grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken and place it directly into a large bowl, you’ll need a about 4 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, more if you want to stuff the enchiladas more. Use a hand mixer to finely shred it in under a minute.
Cup of Yum
Assemble:
- Pour 1 can, or about 1 cup of salsa verde, on the bottom of the baking dish. Move it around to distribute and coat the bottom of the baking dish.
- Pour another can, about 1 cup, of salsa verde over the shredded chicken. Add the green chilies and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well to combine.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface, top it with ½ cup of the chicken mixture, place it in the middle of the tortilla, and roll it up as tightly as possible. Place it in the baking dish, seam-side down. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining can of salsa verde, another cup, over the tops of the enchiladas and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese on top.
Bake:
- Cover the enchiladas with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, removing the foil during the last 5 minutes of cooking, until the sauce on the sides is hot and bubbly.
- Remove it from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, cilantro, and your favorite toppings.
Storage:
- Refrigerate any leftover chicken enchiladas in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm up in the microwave, for 1 to 2 minutes.
