Bacon-Ranch Chicken Enchiladas
These chicken enchiladas with bacon and ranch dressing are far from being authentically Mexican, but boy, are they delicious! It's a fantastic way to make use of any leftover rotisserie chicken.
- cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cups chopped yellow onion
- ½ leftover rotisserie chicken, chopped
- ¼ cups crumbled cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons roasted garlic
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 15 corn tortillas, or more to taste ((6 inch))
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
- 1 cup mild enchilada sauce
Heat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Apply cooking spray to a 9x12-inch brownie pan.
Heat up some olive oil in a big skillet on medium heat. Cook the onion until it becomes soft, which should take around 5 minutes. Mix in the chicken, bacon, and roasted garlic. Add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning. Finally, stir in the green onions.
Combine ranch dressing and sour cream in a tiny bowl. Take the chicken mixture off the heat and gently mix in a small amount of the ranch mixture until the chicken is lightly coated.
Take one tortilla and spread two tablespoons of chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle one tablespoon of Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend on top of the chicken and roll up the tortilla. Put the filled tortilla, with the seam-side down, at the short end of the pan to prevent it from unrolling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until the pan is filled with enchiladas.
Cover the filled tortillas with enchilada sauce, making sure not to drown them. Generously sprinkle the remaining Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend on top of everything.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly on top, about 15 minutes.
