Ingredients
  • 1 28-ounce can enchilada sauce (use Mild, Medium, or Spicy depending on your preference)
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 pound rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese
  • 1 red bell pepper, stem removed, deseeded and diced
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° Bake. In a 9x12 inch glass baking dish, put a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of the pan.
  2. Warm the tortillas in a microwave to soften by placing 4 tortillas at a time and heating for 20 seconds.
  3. Dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce and top with 1 heaping ounce of chicken, 1 ounce of cheese, and 2 Tablespoons of the red bell pepper.
  4. Roll the tortilla up and place it in the glass pan. Repeat this for all 12 tortillas. Your hands will get messy! You can always wear plastic gloves as needed.
  5. Top with the remainder of the enchilada sauce and any leftover cheese to sprinkle on top.
  6. *If pre-prepping the enchiladas for another night to eat, stop here. Tightly cover the enchiladas with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, pre-heat the oven. Take the enchiladas out of the fridge to get to room temperature while the oven is heating. Remove the lid or plastic wrap.
  7. Cover with tin foil. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and broil the enchiladas for an addition 2-4 minutes so the cheese gets nice and brown and the enchiladas crisp up.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve with desired toppings.
