Easy Chicken Enchiladas are a hearty, satisfying dinner that the entire family will love! They may be assembled in advance and baked just before serving, so they're great for meal prep!

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3 cups enchilada sauce
  • 8 7" tortillas (flour or corn tortillas for gluten-free option)
  • 1.5 cups grated cheese (I used Mexican 4 cheese blend)
  • 1/4 cup torn cilantro (for garnish (optional))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
  2. 2If the tortillas are not pliable, heat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave. Place the tortillas on a work surface and divide the shredded chicken evenly between them. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon or so of enchilada sauce over the shredded chicken filling.
  3. 3Roll the enchiladas up tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish.
  4. 4Top the enchiladas with the remaining sauce and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  5. 5Bake for 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted. Top with torn cilantro if desired and enjoy!
