  • Stir in broth, spices, and tomato sauce. Simmer 10 minutes.
  • Dip each tortilla into sauce to coat both sides and soften. place shredded chicken (fill to your liking), some shredded cheese and drizzle a little enchilada sauce onto it.
  • Roll tortilla around filling tight. Place in 9 x 13 inch pan. do until all filled.
  • pour remaining sauce on top. Top with more shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 10 min to melt cheese. I serve with sour cream, salsa and sides of mexican rice and refried beans.

  1. These were really good! I would make a little more of the sauce, because the amount of sauce we ended up with didn't quite make the tortillas (homemade) soft enough and I would like a little to drizzle over them once in the pan as well (I like sauce!). I used Mexican oregano and chili powder with ancho, cilantro, paprika, cayenne, lemon peel, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, star anise, anise seed, cardamom, fennel, cloves and jalapeno. I cooked the chicken in a little bit of avocado oil. We used Monterrey Jack cheese. I definitely plan to make these again. Gracias!
