Salsa Roja Chicken Enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that will satisfy your cravings for spicy and flavorful food. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a party with friends. The key ingredient in this recipe is the Salsa Roja, which is a traditional Mexican sauce made with tomatoes, chili peppers, and spices.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup of Salsa Roja
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Then, add the shredded chicken and Salsa Roja to the skillet and stir until the chicken is coated with the sauce.
Next, take a tortilla and fill it with the chicken mixture. Roll it up and place it in a baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Once all the tortillas are filled and rolled up, pour the remaining Salsa Roja over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the sauce.
Bake the enchiladas in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once done, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.
Salsa Roja Chicken Enchiladas are a perfect combination of spicy and savory flavors. The Salsa Roja sauce gives the dish a rich and tangy taste, while the shredded chicken adds a meaty texture.
