Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 24 ounces salsa verde divided (Trader Joe's or Herdez are my two favorites)
- 2 ½ to 3 cups cooked chicken see Note 1 below
- 8 to 10 medium-sized tortillas I used flour, corn are traditional
- 1 ½ cups shredded manchego cheese Monterrey Jack, Pepper Jack, or your favorite shredded cheese blend may be substituted
- fresh cilantro to taste for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F (use convection if you have it) and to a 8x10-inch casserole dish or similar sized baking dish, evenly drizzle the olive oil, and tip the dish around to evenly coat the bottom with oil.
- Evenly add 8 ounces of the salsa verde to the baking dish; set aside.
- To a medium bowl, add 8 ounces salsa verde, the chicken, and stir to combine to create the filling mixture.
- Divide the filling mixture evenly between 8 to 10 tortillas.
- Nestle the filled tortillas in the baking dish after rolling them up, seam side down.
- Evenly drizzle the remaining 8 ounces salsa verde over the top of the tortillas.
- Evenly sprinkle with the cheese and bake for about 15 minutes, or until cheese has melted and is as lightly golden browned as desired.
- Evenly sprinkle with cilantro to garnish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken: I used diced chicken from my 20-Minute Perfect Oven Baked Chicken recipe. Shredded rotisserie chicken is a great time-saving shortcut. Traditionally, chicken is poached in water with half an onion and a few cloves of garlic and then shredded for enchiladas.
- Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, warm them gently for a few minutes in a low oven which will make them easier to roll without tearing.
- Storage: Enchiladas will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
