Fajita Enchiladas Recipes

CHICKEN FAJITA ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch or similar casserole dish.
• In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients to make the fajita seasoning.
• Heat a skillet (I like to use cast iron) over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Sprinkle the chicken with half of the fajita seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook until browned an completely cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add remaining tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet. Add onion and peppers and sprinkle with remaining fajita seasoning. Cook until vegetables are softened and start to caramelize, about 5-6 minutes. Combine with the chicken.
• Whisk together the enchilada sauce, sour cream, and milk. Pour enough mixture into the prepared baking dish to cover the bottom generously.
• Spoon chicken fajita mixture into the flour tortillas, roll up, and place seam side-down in the dish.
• Pour remaining enchilada sauce mixture over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese just begins to turn brown, about 10 minutes more.
• Serve enchiladas with chopped avocados and cilantro, or as desired.
