🌮 Introduction

Red Chicken Enchiladas are the definition of comfort food. Warm tortillas filled with tender chicken, wrapped in rich red enchilada sauce, and baked under a blanket of melted cheese. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights, family dinners, or when you simply want something hearty and satisfying that everyone will rave about.


🧾 Ingredients

For the Enchiladas:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 8–10 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup chopped bell pepper (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Sour cream
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Avocado or guacamole

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a pan, sauté onions and bell peppers until soft. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir well.
  3. Warm tortillas slightly so they don’t crack when rolling.
  4. Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and a little cheese, then roll tightly.
  5. Arrange enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  6. Pour red enchilada sauce generously over the top.
  7. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over everything.
  8. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

🔥 Cooking Method

This recipe uses a baked method, allowing all the flavors to blend beautifully while the cheese melts perfectly. Baking also keeps the enchiladas moist while giving the top a lightly golden finish.


📜 A Little History

Enchiladas date back to ancient Mexico, where tortillas were rolled around simple fillings and covered with chili sauces. Over time, enchiladas evolved into many regional varieties, with red enchiladas becoming one of the most loved versions worldwide due to their bold, comforting flavor.


🧩 Formation (Assembly Tips)

  • Don’t overfill the tortillas—this helps them roll neatly.
  • Always place enchiladas seam-side down to keep them from opening.
  • Extra sauce = extra flavor and moisture. Don’t be shy!

❤️ Made for Lovers (and Families!)

This is a love-filled dish—perfect for couples’ dinners, family gatherings, or feeding a table full of hungry hearts. Serve with rice, beans, or a fresh salad and watch everyone go back for seconds.
