Chicken enchiladas
Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Red Sauce
Tender shredded chicken rolled in soft tortillas, smothered in homemade red enchilada sauce and melted cheese. This is the Tex-Mex dish the whole table fights over.
Enchiladas are one of those meals that feel like a project but are actually pretty simple. The sauce is the secret. Once you make homemade enchilada sauce, the canned stuff just doesn't compare.

Steps
- 01Make the sauce: Heat oil in a saucepan over medium. Whisk in chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and flour. Cook 1 minute. Add tomato paste, then slowly whisk in broth. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt.
- 02Preheat oven to 375°F. Season shredded chicken with cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix in ½ cup of the enchilada sauce and ½ cup of the cheese.
- 03Warm tortillas — wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 30 seconds. Warm tortillas don't crack when rolled.
- 04Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Fill each tortilla with chicken, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
- 05Pour remaining sauce evenly over the top. Cover generously with cheese. Bake 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling at the edges.
- 06Rest 5 minutes. Top with sour cream, cilantro, and diced onion. Serve immediately — enchiladas at their best are hot from the oven.
