White Chicken Enchiladas are a popular and comforting Mexican-inspired dish that features tender shredded chicken wrapped in soft tortillas and covered in a creamy, cheesy white sauce. Unlike traditional red enchiladas, which use a tomato-based sauce, this recipe uses a white sauce made with ingredients like sour cream, cream cheese, or a béchamel sauce, giving it a rich and smooth texture.
To prepare this dish, shredded chicken is often combined with ingredients like green chilies, onions, and spices for added flavor. The chicken mixture is then rolled into flour tortillas, which are placed in a baking dish. The creamy white sauce, sometimes with a hint of spice, is poured over the enchiladas before baking. A generous layer of cheese is added on top, which melts and browns in the oven, creating a deliciously gooey and golden topping.
White Chicken Enchiladas are loved for their comforting and creamy taste. They are versatile and can be customized with various toppings like fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, or jalapeños. This dish is perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or any occasion where you want to enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal.
