Open in Pepper →Enchiladas sound like a project until you make the white sauce kind. Cooked chicken, tortillas, cheese, sour cream — it comes together in one pan and comes out of the oven bubbling.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when there's leftover or rotisserie chicken in the fridge and about an hour before everybody's hungry.
Every recipe here starts with shredded chicken and cheese: Creamy white chicken enchiladas with salsa verde, Lazy White Chicken Enchiladas, a Keto version with low-carb tortillas, White chicken enchilada casserole, White chicken enchilada soup with corn and black beans, and one with green chili sour cream sauce.
Warm the tortillas first
Heat flour tortillas 20 seconds in the microwave under a damp towel so they roll without cracking or tearing.
Use rotisserie chicken
One rotisserie chicken pulls into about 3 cups of shredded meat, enough for a 9x13 pan with no cooking.
Temper the sour cream
Stir a spoonful of hot sauce into the sour cream before adding it to the pan so it stays smooth instead of curdling.
Let it rest ten minutes
Pull the pan out and wait 10 minutes before cutting so the sauce sets and the enchiladas lift out whole.
