Description

These enchiladas are a family favorite — tender chicken wrapped in warm corn tortillas, smothered in smoky red chili sauce, and baked with bubbling cheese. Straight from a Mexican kitchen, this is comfort food at its finest.

Ingredients

  • 🍗 400 g cooked shredded chicken (2 ½ cups)
  • 🫓 8 corn tortillas
  • 🧅 1 small onion, finely chopped (50 g)
  • 🧀 150 g shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese (1 ½ cups)
  • 🫒 30 ml vegetable oil (2 tbsp)
  • For the red sauce:
  • 🌶️ 3 dried guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 🌶️ 2 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 🧄 2 garlic cloves
  • 🧅 ½ onion (50 g)
  • 🍅 1 small tomato (80 g)
  • 🧂 Salt to taste
  • 💧 350 ml hot water (1 ½ cups)

Preparation

  • 1️⃣ Make the sauce: Soak guajillo and ancho chilies in hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with garlic, onion, tomato, and salt until smooth. Strain if needed.
  • 2️⃣ Warm the tortillas: Lightly fry tortillas in oil for a few seconds each to prevent cracking.
  • 3️⃣ Assemble: Fill each tortilla with chicken and onion. Roll and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  • 4️⃣ Sauce & top: Pour red sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese evenly.
  • 5️⃣ Bake: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
