Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the taco seasoning. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Take one flour tortilla and place it on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spreading a small amount of queso blanco on the bottom.
- Place the filled enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly next to each other.
- Pour the remaining queso blanco over the top and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Prepare your serving side of Spanish rice as per package instructions.
Serving
- Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Mix taco seasoning thoroughly for even flavor. Consider broiling the enchiladas for a crispy top if desired. Adjust cheese amount based on preference. Allow to cool slightly before serving for better presentation.
