Enchipotladas

EExperience the rich and creamy flavors of Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas. This comforting dish is bursting with a smoky chipotle kick, enveloped in velvety sauce and topped with melted cheese—perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

🥛 1 package cream cheese
🥛 2 cups heavy cream
🌶️ 5 chipotle peppers from a can
🧂 Salt to taste
🧂 Black pepper to taste
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🍗 1/2 rotisserie chicken (shredded)
🧅 1/2 small onion (finely chopped)
🧀 1 cup Oaxaca cheese (shredded)
🌽 15 corn tortillas
🌿 Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, chipotle peppers, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers according to your preference.
2. Shred the Chicken: Using your hands or forks, shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chicken with the chopped onion and half of the Oaxaca cheese. Set aside.
3. Fry the Tortillas: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly fry each corn tortilla until softened but not crispy. This will make them pliable for rolling.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an oven-safe ceramic or glass baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the chipotle sauce over the bottom of the dish.
5. Roll the Enchiladas: Take one tortilla, place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
6. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining chipotle sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the rest of the Oaxaca cheese on top.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven. Let it cool slightly, then garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
