Bobby Flay’s Chicken Enchiladas

A delightful take on Chicken Enchiladas, wrapped in soft tortillas with tender chicken, vibrant enchilada sauce, and melted cheese, perfect for cozy family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the cooked chicken, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, mixing everything evenly.
  4. Warm the tortillas slightly in a microwave so they’re pliable and easier to roll.
  5. Place a portion of the chicken mixture on each tortilla, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and roll them tightly.
  6. Arrange the rolled tortillas in a baking dish, seam-side down.
  7. Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then top with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until everything is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  9. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to customize the enchiladas by adding black beans or corn to the filling. Substitute with leftover turkey for a post-holiday meal.
