Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 6-inch corn tortillas
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium-size green bell pepper, seeded, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3 10-ounce cans purchased enchilada sauce
3 cups (about) shredded cooked chicken
3 cups packed grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 12 ounces)
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Using tongs, add 1 tortilla and cook until softened, turning once, about 15 seconds for each side. Transfer tortilla to paper towels and drain well. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in heavy large skillet. Add onion, pepper, oregano and basil and sautee until onion and pepper are tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly oil 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into dish. Place scant 1/4 cup chicken in center of 1 tortilla. Sprinkle with 1 generous tablespoon onion mixture. Set aside 1/2 cup cheese for topping. Spoon 2 generous tablespoons cheese atop chicken. Roll up tortilla and place seam side down in prepared dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken, onion mixture and cheese. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with foil. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake enchiladas, covered, until sauce bubbles and cheese melts, about 35 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream.

I'm not a big fan of enchiladas, but these were really good! The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more sauce next time.

I loved the cheese blend that was used in these enchiladas. It was so creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be using this cheese blend in other recipes.

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought enchilada sauce to save time and they were still delicious.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The enchiladas were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the cilantro.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I will definitely be making them again, but I'll use a milder salsa next time.

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great. I used rotisserie chicken to save time and they were still delicious.
