Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

To Make Chicken Mixture: In a medium skillet, heat corn oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
7 mins

Add diced tomato, shredded chicken, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally and set aside.

03

Step
2 mins

To Make Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine shredded Monterey Jack cheese and grated Romano cheese. Mix well.

04

Step
1 mins

Pour tomato sauce into a shallow dish or bowl. In a separate medium skillet, heat remaining corn oil over medium heat.

05

Step
1 mins

One by one, dip corn tortillas in tomato sauce, coating both sides. Then, carefully slip the tortilla into the hot oil in the skillet. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until softened. Set on a clean dish.

06

Step
10 mins

Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese mixture. Roll up tightly.

07

Step
5 mins

Repeat until all tortillas are filled OR filling runs out, whichever comes first. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the chicken mixture.
If you prefer a spicier kick, use pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the skillet before frying the tortillas.
Feel free to add your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, or chopped cilantro.

    I added some jalapenos to the chicken mixture for extra heat. They turned out amazing!

    The tip about warming the tortillas first was so helpful. No more torn tortillas!

    My kids are picky eaters, but they devoured these enchiladas. Will definitely be making them again.

    I didn't have rancherito cheese, so I used cheddar instead. Still delicious!
