Since we all are in the process of gathering or already have pantry stocks, for the reason so well known, this chicken enchilada bake shouldn’t be hard to make.
If you don’t have fresh tomatoes and Ricotta or cottage cheese at hand, you can easily skip them and add Mexican cheese blend, corn, or black beans. Adjusting ingredients to your stocks or preferences is absolutely on line with the circumstances and combining them makes you serve tasty and comforting main dish and feed four people.
Loaded with shredded chicken, cheese and homemade tortillas, made in one pan this enchilada skillet recipe is the best bake to use your leftovers to have perfect comforting lunch or dinner!
Since there is an excellent source of homemade flour tortillas in our neighbourhood, I prepare the stripes for healthy snack, using tortilla leftovers. Below, you see how to cut them to make an inviting, irresistible, from scratch, tortilla stripes snack. Of course, those store bought work fine too.
All you need is 2 flour tortillas, halved and cut to ½ inch strips, toss them with 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (I skip olive oil here) and ½ tsp salt. Bake at 180 C / 356 F for 11 – 12 minutes.
As an appetizer, the strips could be served with tomato salsa, cod pate, honey with walnuts, greens or whatever you find in your fridge ( salami, cheeses, guacamole ) or with amazing Tortilla Chicken Soup .
What is a good side for chicken enchiladas?
Coleslaw, lettuce, roasted cauliflower, sweet potato salad, rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, to name just a few!
How do you reheat enchiladas in an oven?
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Add the enchiladas to an oven-safe container or preheated baking dish if possible (don’t use a cold casserole dish), if desired, add some extra cheese and sauce on top of the enchiladas before covering the dish with aluminum foil. Heat/bake enchiladas for 20 – 25 minutes. For more options go to Theyummybowl .
