Skillet enchiladas for the win today.
There is no shortage of enchiladas here on the blog, but let’s just add another to the mix. Why not? I get bored with everything after I make it a few times anyway, so let’s go.
This is such an easy, perfect weeknight meal. Use some leftover chicken (or a rotisserie!) and make your own sauce so the flavorful is out of this world. It will come together quickly and the leftovers are DELISH.
I’m declaring that these skillet enchiladas are technically easier than my traditional ones because we lose a step and a dish! Which makes it only slightly simpler to put together but for some reason, it FEELS much easier. You know?
I mean, anytime I have less dishes in my life is a good time. If you even knew how many dishes I wash in this house. It is absolutely insane.
So! First things first.
I always make my enchilada sauce in a skillet or saucepan and this time, I got lazy and decided to just add my enchiladas right to that same skillet. But like, actual rolled up enchiladas – not just layered tortillas. Instead of scooping out of the sauce and placing it in a baking dish with the enchiladas and then pouring the rest over top…
NOPE! Everything is going directly into the skillet. Boom.
P.S. if you want a throw-it-all-together skillet dinner, I made one here a few years ago.
Our kicker ingredient here is chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. We’re mostly adding the adobo sauce to our enchilada sauce and it will give it the perfect spicy flavor. I like to then add a touch of the enchilada sauce to the chicken mixture before rolling it in the tortillas.
That alone is delicious enough to scoop up with tortilla chips. Wish I was eating it right now.
This cheesy goodness is everything!
I’ve said it a million times but enchiladas have a little special place in my heart because they was one of the first meals I ever cooked for Eddie, waaaay before I REALLY knew how to cook. Since then, my enchiladas have become even more flavorful since nearly everything is homemade and they are just.so.good.
So, dinner tonight!!
