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!
