Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion, chopped
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, divided
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken liberally with taco seasoning.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and saute until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Add onion to the same skillet and saute until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add 1 can diced tomatoes with liquid, diced green chile peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until sauce is smooth.
  • Dice cooled chicken and transfer to a bowl. Drain remaining can of diced tomatoes; discard liquid and add tomatoes to the chicken.
  • Place about 1/4 cup chicken mixture in the middle of a tortilla. Add 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, then roll tortilla up. Place seam-side down in a baking pan. Repeat to make remaining enchiladas.
  • Cover enchiladas with sauce and spread remaining cheese over top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
