Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 small flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of BBQ sauce and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center. Roll the tortilla up and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
- Once all the enchiladas are arranged in the dish, drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the top (about 1/4 cup). Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh cilantro and diced red onion, if desired.
- Serve warm with sour cream and green onions on the side.
