For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and chili powder before cooking. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly warm them in a dry skillet before filling. Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables such as corn, zucchini, or spinach. If you don't have whole wheat tortillas, you can use regular flour tortillas or even corn tortillas for a gluten-free option. These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Jan 24, 2024So easy to make and a great way to use up leftover chicken. I added a can of diced tomatoes to the filling for extra moisture.
