To make Chicken Enchiladas, you will need the following ingredients:
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 can of enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft and tender. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir until it is heated through.
Next, pour the enchilada sauce into a shallow dish. Dip each tortilla into the sauce, making sure it is coated on both sides. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish.
Once all the enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the enchiladas and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
When the enchiladas are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!
