Delicious Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas: A Colorful Twist on a Classic Mexican Dish
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    1 hrs 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast halves without skin and bones
  • ½ cup of Buffalo wing sauce (like Frank's RedHot®), split into portions
  • 1 bell pepper in a vibrant orange hue, sliced into strips
  • ¼ of a white onion, thinly sliced
  • Honey, about 2 tablespoons or as desired
  • 2 avocados, sliced and separated
  • A generous 6 ounces of creamy Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup of zesty salsa verde, or green salsa
  • A drizzle of olive oil, adjust quantity as needed
  • 10 soft flour tortillas, each measuring 8 inches
  • Grated Manchego cheese, approximately 4 ounces or to your liking

Step 1

Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get things started.

Step 2

Get your chicken snug in a baking dish and generously brush on a quarter cup of zesty wing sauce. Layer on slices of bell pepper and onion, then generously drizzle a touch of honey over the mix. Secure everything under a foil blanket.

Step 3

Let it all bake in the cozy oven until the chicken is tender, which usually takes about an hour and a half.

Step 4

In the meantime, whip up a creamy avocado sauce by blending ripe avocados, Greek yogurt, and tangy salsa verde until it's velvety yet still has a bit of texture.

Step 5

Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a cutting board, keeping the flavorful drippings aside along with the bell pepper and onion. Use tongs or a fork to shred the chicken, then toss it with the remaining wing sauce.

Step 6

Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with a drizzle of olive oil. Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shredded chicken, bell pepper, and onion, then roll them up and line them snugly in the dish.

Step 7

Drizzle a dollop of the avocado sauce over each enchilada, ensuring they are evenly coated. Save some sauce for later. Sprinkle the majority of the luscious Manchego cheese on top.

Step 8

Pop the dish back in the oven until the cheese is gooey and irresistible, usually around 10 minutes. Serve each enchilada with an extra drizzle of sauce and a sprinkle of cheese, topping it off with slices of ripe avocado.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by organizing your pantry and refrigerator to make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for the buffalo chicken enchiladas.
  2. 2. Use clear glass jars to store spices and seasonings - not only does it look pretty, but it also makes it easy to see what you have on hand.
