Enchilada Filling

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, chipotle peppers, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Chipotle Sauce

  1. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Assemble the Enchiladas

  1. 4

    Prepare Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas one at a time over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill Tortillas

    On each tortilla, place a generous amount of the chicken filling, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  3. 6

    Top with Sauce and Cheese

    Once all tortillas are filled and rolled, pour the chipotle sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Bake the Enchiladas

  1. 7

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and garnished with fresh cilantro.
