Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, fajita seasoning, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in cilantro and lime juice.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the seasonal vegetables until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make the Enchiladas

    Warm the corn tortillas. Fill each tortilla with shredded cheese and roll them up. Place them in a baking dish and pour green chile sauce over them.

  6. 6

    Bake Enchiladas

    Bake the enchiladas in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
