Description

Cheesy and delicious enchiladas with a BBQ chicken filling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and shred it.
  3. Return shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir in BBQ sauce, chopped onion, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  5. Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the BBQ chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour any remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the enchiladas.
  7. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and fresh cilantro.
