Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need for this recipe

Step by step

Method

  1. 1First, cook the chicken if you don't already have some ready.
  2. 2All you need is a pot with plenty of water, a pinch of salt, and chicken—breasts or thighs both work well. Let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, then let it cool before removing the skin, bones, and any gristle.
  3. 3Once the chicken is ready, we can start assembling our enchiladas.
  4. 4Begin by peeling, chopping, and gently softening the onion in a pan.
  5. 5When the onion is nice and soft, add the shredded cooked chicken and sauté everything together well.
  6. 6Season to taste with your favourite spicy seasonings and garlic powder.
  7. 7Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
  8. 8Meanwhile, fold a little grated protein cheese into the warm chicken mixture.
  9. 9Divide the filling among all the tortillas and roll them up tightly.
  10. 10Arrange the enchiladas in a baking dish and cover with the sofrito sauce, grated protein cheese, and dollops of spreadable cream cheese.
  11. 11Bake until the cheese is beautifully melted and lightly golden on top.
  12. 12All done! Our homemade chicken enchiladas are ready to enjoy!
