Ingredients
– 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
– 1 cup ranch dressing
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
– 8 small flour tortillas
– 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
– Additional cheese for topping (optional)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to prepare your Ranch Chicken Enchiladas:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, black beans, and half of the cheese. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Fill the Tortillas: Lay out one tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat this with the remaining tortillas.
4. Add the Sauce: Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies evenly over the rolled enchiladas. This adds flavor and moisture while baking.
5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the enchiladas for a melty, gooey topping.
6. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Garnish: Once done, take the enchiladas out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Top them with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
