The Best Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
The Best Chicken Enchiladas Recipe is so fast and easy to make. Adding jerk seasoning will give your chicken a great flavor!
Equipment
1 9×13 baking pan
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds ground chicken (minced chicken) - boneless and skinless chicken breast
3 cans enchilada sauce - mild red, 8 ounces each can
1 ½ cups Colby Jack cheese - divided
1 teaspoon salt - to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - to taste- 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning - to taste
⅔ cup water- 6 shells flour burrito shells
Instructions
- Pan fry ground chicken in a skillet with the oil. Add salt, pepper, and jerk seasoning to taste. Taste the chicken to see if you need more seasoning. (You want the chicken to have flavor but not too spicy. Even if you like spicy food, once the chicken is mixed with the enchilada sauce, it really kicks up the heat!)
- Put chicken in a large mixing bowl with 1 ½ cans of enchilada sauce and ¾ cups of cheese. Mix well.
- Divide the chicken mixture onto the burrito shells. Roll up how you would a burrito.
- Pour about ½ can of sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
- Put enchiladas seam side down in the pan. Pour the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Back in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve with sour cream, beans, and rice. Enjoy!
