Holy Enchilada! 5 irresistible enchilada recipes

Chicken Black Bean Enchiladas

by Lauren Perkins-Boyd from Portland, OR

These chicken black bean enchiladas are a great comforting weeknight meal. Using a rotisserie chicken means it can be thrown together quickly. The chicken filling is stuffed with shredded chicken, black beans, green chiles, queso fresco and Colby Jack cheese. If you want a bit more seasoning, add some cumin and chili powder. Once baked in the enchilada sauce, it’s a filling dish. Get the recipe here.

Breakfast Enchiladas

by Gina Davis from Cedar Bluff, VA

A fantastic breakfast twist on enchiladas. The homemade cheese sauce is what makes these enchiladas so good. Thick and creamy, fire-roasted chiles add a little heat to it. Filled with cheesy eggs and hot sausage, the enchiladas are cooked in the cheese sauce and then topped with more cheese. We’d save this for a weekend or holiday brunch since there are a few steps to this breakfast recipe. We topped ours with extra cilantro, tomatoes, and green onions to bring the flavors together. A dollop of sour cream or salad would also be delicious. Here’s the recipe.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

by Sharon Colyer from Louisville, KY

These are flavorful chicken enchiladas with an easy-to-make homemade creamy sauce. The enchilada sauce is chunky and flavorful. Tortillas are dipped in the sauce, filled with a chicken mixture, and rolled. By doing it this way, after it’s baked, the filling is super tender. A hearty dinner that will be a crowd-pleaser. They heat up wonderfully the next day as well. Click here for the recipe.

Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

by Debbie W. from SW, LA

If you love Mexican food, these enchiladas are a must. The sauce is full of Mexican flavor and slightly spicy. It makes the whole house smell like a Mexican restaurant. Coating the corn tortillas in sauce not only softens them but allows them to soak up all the sauce flavor. What meat you use in this recipe is up to you (we used shredded beef since that’s what’s in the name). The sauce is where it’s at for this enchilada recipe. Here’s the recipe.

White Chicken Enchiladas w/ Green Chilies

by Elizabeth McCarthy from Miami, FL
