A quick and easy recipe for Rotisserie Chicken Enchiladas, featuring tender shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and a flavorful enchilada sauce, all baked to cheesy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), undrained
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 3 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 (19 oz) can red enchilada sauce
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, extra cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in Rotel (undrained), black beans, corn, shredded chicken, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup cilantro, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Warm tortillas slightly (microwave for 15-30 seconds or quickly in a dry skillet) to make them more pliable.
  6. Spread about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. For each enchilada, place a spoonful of the chicken mixture down the center of a tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  8. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  9. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle generously with additional shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and enchiladas are heated through.
  11. Garnish with extra cilantro, and serve with sour cream and avocado slices if desired.

Notes

  • Warming the tortillas makes them easier to roll and less likely to break.
  • Adjust the amount of Rotel or add extra chilies for more heat.
  • This recipe can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving.
