Flavorful, juicy chicken breast meat cooked with homemade enchilada sauce and all rolled together into a soft, flour tortilla with extra sauce and cheese.
Ingredient Notes
Enchilada Sauce – I can’t stress enough that homemade enchilada sauce makes a big difference in this dish! It only takes about 20 minutes to make and you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
Chicken – we prefer chicken breast meat but you can use boneless skinless chicken thigh meat or a combination of the two.
Cheese – use Mexican cheese mix, it usually contains a mix of cheddar, Colby, Monterrey Jack, Asadero, and queso quesadilla cheeses. You can mix your own cheeses listed if you’d like.
Tortillas – we like to use soft flour taco tortillas but you can use corn instead if you’d like. You can use homemade corn tortillas or store-bought. Corn tortillas have a very different flavor and texture so it is a personal preference.
Cooking Instructions
