Chicken enchiladas
454cal, 45p, 30c, 15f (per meal)
1 lbs (454g)
1 1/2 cup (360g)
6 tortilla, medium (approx 6" dia) (156g)
3/4 cup, shredded (85g)
1
Add the chicken to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) (timing will vary depending on thickness, typically 12-18 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and shred using two forks.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
3
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with about 10% of the enchilada sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4
Optional (recommended if cooking for multiple days, as it improves tortilla texture): Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast each tortilla for 20-30 seconds per side, until fragrant but still pliable. Transfer immediately to a clean kitchen towel, stacking and covering to keep warm.
5
Set up your assembly station with the tortillas, chicken mixture, half of the cheese, and a baking dish.
6
Fill each tortilla with an even portion of shredded chicken and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
7
Once all enchiladas are assembled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve.
