Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 28 oz can of enchilada sauce
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound four-cheese Mexican blend, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
Method
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Warm a pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
- After a total of 10 minutes, remove the onions and garlic from the pan and set them aside.
- Warm a small pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
- Fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds (just until soft), then place them on paper towels to drain.
- This step softens the tortillas so they roll more easily and pick up extra flavor.
- In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, the sautéed onions and garlic, 1 cup of the four-cheese blend, and 1 cup of the enchilada sauce.
- Season with the salt and black pepper.
- Stir until everything is well combined and the chicken is evenly coated.
- Ladle a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish, just enough to lightly coat it.
- Place some of the chicken mixture along the center of each tortilla, then roll it up and place it seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well covered.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the enchiladas.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven.
- Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let them rest a minute or two, then serve hot.
