Ingredients

🌶️ 6 chipotle peppers in adobo
🥫 1 can cream of chicken soup
🍶 1 cup cottage cheese
🧅 1/4 onion
🧄 2–3 garlic cloves
🍗 1/4 cup chicken stock (plus more to rinse the blender)
🧂 1 tsp chicken bouillon (or to taste)
🧂 Salt to taste

🍗 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
🧀 1 1/2 cups shredded Chihuahua cheese (or any melty cheese)
🌽 Corn tortillas (about 8–10)
🛢️ Neutral oil for frying
🧀 More cheese for topping

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chipotle Sauce:

Combine the chipotle peppers, cream of chicken soup, cottage cheese, onion, and garlic cloves in a blender. Add 1/4 cup of chicken stock and blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan. Add a bit more chicken stock to the blender, swirl it around to collect any remaining sauce, and pour this into the saucepan as well.
Stir in the chicken bouillon and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from burning. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.

2- Prepare the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with the shredded cheese. Mix well.

3- Assemble the Enchiladas:

Heat a small amount of neutral oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla on both sides until just softened. Drain them on paper towels.
Fill each softened tortilla with a generous spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture. Roll the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

4- Top and Cook:

Pour the simmered chipotle sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle additional cheese over the sauce.
Broil in the oven until the cheese topping is melted, bubbly, and starts to turn golden brown.

5- Serve:

Serve hot and enjoy this delightful dish straight from the baking dish!
