Recipe View Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, and the dish is heated through. (45 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use Monterey Jack or a blend of cheeses instead of Cheddar.
Add a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the chicken mixture for extra heartiness.
If you prefer a milder flavor, use mild green chiles instead of the jalapeño salsa.
Make ahead: Assemble the enchiladas and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
