Swap out the Monterey Jack & Cheddar for: ✔️ Oaxaca Cheese – Ultra-melty & creamy. ✔️ Asadero Cheese – Buttery smooth & mild. ✔️ Queso Chihuahua – Soft & stretchy for a gooey bite. 💡 Seasoned Chicken Upgrade (Optional): Add: • ½ tsp cumin • ½ tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp onion powder • ¼ tsp chili powder or smoked paprika 💡 Corn or Flour Tortillas? Corn holds up better & adds authentic flavor, but flour tortillas give a softer texture. I cook these using flour tortillas, but without alot of the salsa verde blend to keep them a bit crispier! ⸻ 🍽️ What to Serve with Enchiladas: ✔️ Mexican rice ✔️ Refried beans or black beans ✔️ Fresh guacamole or avocado slices ✔️ A simple lime-dressed salad ⸻ 💡 FAQs: 🔎 Can I use rotisserie chicken? Yes! Just shred and mix with the filling. 🔎 Can I make these ahead? Yes! Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance. 🔎 Should I bake enchiladas covered or uncovered? Uncovered for a crispy, golden cheese topping. 🔎 What’s the best cheese for enchiladas? Monterey Jack & mild Cheddar work great, but for a more authentic melt, try Oaxaca or Asadero cheese! ⸻ 📢 Try These & Let Me Know! 🔥 What’s your favorite easy family dinner?
