We take Mexican food seriously, and these microwave enchiladas are seriously amazing. We’re talking bubbly, cheesy, just-like-the-real-deal chicken enchiladas, 20 minutes start to finish and no oven required. Tasting is believing.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups canned mild enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken
1 tablespoon (from 24 g package) Old El Paso™ chicken taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
8 corn tortillas (6 inch)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup sour cream

Steps

1

In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce, the chicken, seasoning mix and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
2

Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) microwavable baking dish with cooking spray. Place 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce in bottom of dish. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, fill with heaping 1/4 cup chicken mixture, and roll to seal; place in baking dish seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
3

Pour remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas; top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese.
4

Microwave uncovered on High 9 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through. Garnish with cilantro; serve with sour cream.

This recipe is family friendly but can be easily spiced up using medium or hot enchilada sauce in lieu of mild.
Shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese can be substituted for Mexican cheese blend in this recipe, if desired.
