Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup ranch dressing

Enchiladas

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with ranch dressing until the chicken is evenly coated and flavorful.
  2. Assemble Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out the tortillas and spoon an equal amount of the ranch chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top to cover all the enchiladas.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these creamy, cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas hot for the best taste.
