Tips:
- To make the chicken filling, you can use cooked, shredded chicken or leftover chicken. If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can boil or bake chicken breasts until cooked through and then shred them.
- For the queso blanco sauce, you can use any type of white cheese that melts well. Some good options include Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Queso Fresco.
- If you don't have any enchilada sauce, you can make your own by simmering tomatoes, chili peppers, onions, and spices in a saucepan. You can also use a store-bought enchilada sauce.
- To assemble the enchiladas, spoon some chicken filling and queso blanco sauce into each tortilla. Then, roll up the tortillas and place them in a baking dish.
- Before baking the enchiladas, pour the remaining queso blanco sauce over the top. This will help to keep the enchiladas moist and flavorful.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
