Easy 5-Ingredient Chicken Enchiladas

  

These 5-Ingredient Chicken Enchiladas are just as cheesy and tasty as enchiladas made from scratch, but they come prepared in a fraction of the time. Ideal for busy nights!

 

4 cups shredded chicken

2 cups of your favorite smooth salsa

1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided

1/2 cup sour cream

8 medium flour tortillas

2 1/4 cups shredded co-jack cheese

 

Set the oven to 375°F. Using nonstick cooking spray, grease a 9x13 baking pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, 1/2 cup salsa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of salsa, sour cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour just enough sauce into the prepared pan to barely cover the bottom.

 

Set to one side 1 1/4 cup cheese to serve on top of the enchiladas. Fill the tortilla with the filling and top with a little of the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

The remaining sauce should be poured over the enchiladas. Finish with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are bubbling and hot. Garnish with your preferred toppings.
