Mexican Flag Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas image

Buffalo chicken enchiladas with the green, white, and red of the Mexican flag, all in one dish! Quick and easy, with a surprising array of flavors. This is not a traditional Mexican dish, just a dish inspired by those flavors. It's mildly spicy. Add extra salsa verde when serving for a truly spicy flavor.

Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), divided
1 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
¼ white onion, sliced
2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
2 avocados, sliced, divided
6 ounces Greek yogurt
½ cup salsa verde (green salsa)
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
4 ounces Manchego cheese, or to taste, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken in a baking dish and coat with 1/4 cup wing sauce. Cover with bell pepper and onion. Drizzle honey over the chicken, bell pepper, and onion. Cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Combine 1 1/2 avocados, Greek yogurt, and salsa verde in a blender. Pulse until sauce is mostly smooth but retains some texture.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Drain drippings, reserving bell pepper and onion. Shred chicken using tongs or a fork. Mix in remaining 1/4 cup wing sauce.
  • Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Place a small amount of shredded chicken on each tortilla. Add some of the bell pepper and onion. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Spoon some sauce over each enchilada; spread out so that each is lightly coated. Reserve some of the sauce for serving. Sprinkle most of the grated Manchego cheese over the top.
  • Bake until cheese is thoroughly melted, about 10 minutes. Spoon a bit more sauce over each serving; add a bit more grated cheese. Add some of the remaining avocado slices to each plate.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my enchiladas turned out really bland. The buffalo chicken filling had no flavor and the cheese was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.

These enchiladas were just okay. The buffalo chicken filling was a bit dry and the cheese was not melted all the way through. I would not make these again.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them! He said they were the best enchiladas he's ever had. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who likes spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of buffalo chicken, but these enchiladas were surprisingly good! The cheese and sour cream helped to balance out the spice. I would definitely make these again.
