Authentic Mexican style chicken enchiladas with red sauce
Equipment
- Large Baking Dish, sprayed with non-stick spray.
Ingredients
- 1 Rotisserie Chicken Shredded
- 1 recipe of our easy and delicious enchilada sauce
- 1 can Sliced olives
- 1 package Corn tortias
- 1 package Mexican blend shredded cheese 1 package is two cups of blended cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Shred the rotisserie chicken and place it into a medium to a large mixing bowl. Add some enchilada sauce to coat chicken, not much.
- In a large skillet add oil and fry each of your tortillas, one at a time, until softened 10 to 15 seconds each. Drain off excess oil and transfer to a paper plate lined with several paper towels. Pat dry each tortilla with additional paper towels to remove excess oil.
- After your tortillas are prepared, assemble your ingredients into an assembly line. We will start with our prepared and stacked tortillas, a partially filled pie plate of enchilada sauce, pot with remaining enchilada sauce, a bowl of shredded chicken, a bowl with the cheese, a small bowl of the sliced olives, a large work surface (we use a chopping board), and your baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Dip a tortilla into the pie plate of enchilada sauce coating both sides. Allow excess sauce to drain off and lay flat onto your chopping board or work surface.
- 1/3 of the way into your flat laying tortilla add a line of shredded chicken.
- Using a large spoon or ladle add a tablespoon of enchilada sauce over spread-out chicken.
- Sprinkle shredded Mexican blended cheese over chicken and top with sliced black olives.
- Roll the tortilla over fillings, starting closest to you, until fillings are wrapped within one tortilla, and place into your large baking dish.
- Continue the above steps until your baking dish is filled with rolled enchiladas.
- Using a measuring cup, pour more enchilada sauce over your rolled enchiladas.
- Top with cheese and cover with foil.
- Place the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and remove foil. Return to oven for another 10 minutes or a total cook time of 25 minutes.
- Allow to rest 5 minutes then serve and enjoy!
