Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe [+Video]

Savor the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas! Tender shredded chicken wrapped in soft flour tortillas, smothered in a creamy sauce made completely from scratch, and baked to golden perfection. The ultimate comfort food, ready in no time!

I grew up not loving my mom’s enchiladas. I’m sorry mom. I think I’d love them nowadays, but because she uses a condensed soup which I pretty much never have, I’ve come up with an adapted version that uses sour cream and a roux instead of the condensed soup. Though, if you all want the old version let me know in the comments! I don’t even use an enchilada sauce in this recipe and you won’t even miss it!

Ingredients for Chicken Enchiladas from Scratch

We are essentially making cream of chicken soup from scratch, which may seem like extra work, but I love knowing everything going into my dinner! Using rotisserie chicken will save us some time, and everything else is so easy to get your hands on. Here is everything you’ll need:

• Butter: combines with the flour to create the roux for the creamy white sauce
• All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the white sauce.
• Chicken Broth: adds chicken flavor
• Sour Cream: makes the white sauce extra rich and creamy
• Diced Green Chiles: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor
• Rotisserie Chicken: Break down a whole chicken yourself or buy the prepackaged rotisserie chicken breast meat that is sold at Costco.
• Monterey Jack Cheese: I recommend buying a block and grating it yourself.
• Mexican Cheese Blend: found with all the other cheeses in the cheese section
• Taco Seasoning: I like to make my own big batch and keep it on hand for when it’s needed, but a store-bought brand works fine too.
• Flour Tortillas: Grab your favorite store-bought brand or make them yourself. If you go with store-bought, I recommend the uncooked tortillas that you cook yourself.

Ingredients for Chicken Burrito Bowls

• Oil: used to sauté the chicken
• Seasonings: Cumin, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Kosher Salt and Chili Powder
• White Rice: just simple long-grain white rice works great

• Chicken Broth: cooks the rice and adds more flavor
• Green Chiles: adds flavor
• Cilantro: adds bright herby freshness and flavor
• Lime: You’ll want to use the zest and juice for maximum flavor.

Cilantro Lime Chicken Burrito Bowls

• Step 1: Chicken

Start by seasoning your chicken (onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper and chili powder) and then cook it in a little olive oil in your Instant Pot in “sauté mode”. You won’t need to cook it long, just enough to get a little sear on the outside, about 3 minutes.

• Step 2: Everything Else

Add the rice and garlic and stir it with the chicken for about 20-30 seconds. Then you add the rest of the ingredients (broth, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and pinto beans) and change your Instant Pot to “high pressure”. Give everything a good stir and place the lid on the Instant Pot. Set the valve to “seal” and cook for 7 minutes.

Watch How to Make Chicken Tacos

I grew up on tacos, but when I say that we have to take it with a grain of salt because my mother was raised on a farm in Idaho, which means not only was it always ground beef, flour tortillas, and shredded iceberg lettuce with occasional tomatoes or cheese, but the ground beef for sure 100% had potatoes grated into it, I’m not kidding. We call them Idaho tacos!

Once I was married, my world really started to expand in the world of tacos, but it’s kind of harder than you think when you start off cooking for yourself you want all the flavor, but you’re just not totally sure how everyone achieves it. You can find all sorts of crazy ingredients and marinating times out there, but I’ve found that simplicity is the answer and that’s exactly what these tacos are what you want for dinner tonight.

Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Tacos Recipe

You’ll need just a few ingredients to make the marinade, and you’ll have most of the items in the pantry already. Here is everything you will need:

• Chicken Breasts: Marinate and grill the chicken whole and then chop it into bite-size pieces right before serving.
• Garlic: Adds flavor.
• Lime Juice: Fresh is best of course, and it helps tenderize the chicken and adds flavor.
• Olive Oil: Adds flavor and moisture to the meat and helps tenderize it.
• Seasonings: Chili Powder, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Black Pepper, and Salt
• Corn Tortillas: We don’t use anything but Vista brand tortillas these days, but you can use whatever brand you love.
• Pico De Gallo: Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Limes, Garlic, Red Onion, Salt, Pepper and Cilantro
