Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.

  • Mix shredded chicken, green chiles, and 1 cup cheese in a bowl.
  • Warm corn tortillas so they don’t crack while rolling.
  • Fill tortillas, roll, and place seam-side down in baking dish.
  • Pour sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake 20–25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  • Let rest 5 minutes, add desired toppings, and serve.

Notes

• Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
• Freeze unbaked enchiladas up to 2 months.
• Rotisserie chicken works great for faster prep.
• Leftovers reheat well for lunches or post-practice dinners.
• Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
