Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing spoon
  • Microwave or small skillet (for warming tortillas)

These enchiladas come together quickly thanks to the use of rotisserie chicken. The key is to warm your tortillas before filling them to prevent cracking, and to not skimp on the salsa verde, which provides most of the moisture and flavor in this dish.

For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño when cooking the onions or use a hot salsa verde. You can prepare these enchiladas up to a day ahead and refrigerate before baking - just add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
