Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie chicken works great!
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temp
  • 4 tablespoons Ranch salad dressing (divided) + more for drizzling after baking

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded divided
  • 10 ounce can red Enchilada sauce medium spice level used
  • 6-8 6" flour tortillas

Instructions

  • Soften the cream cheese to room temp and shred the chicken.

  • In a medium bowl blend the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons ranch dressing, 1/4 cup of the Buffalo sauce and 1 cup of the shredded cheese then fold in the shredded chicken.
  • In a second bowl whisk the can of enchilada sauce, the remaining 1/4 cup of Buffalo sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Ranch salad dressing.
  • TIP: to make the tortillas easy to work with, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30 seconds flipping halfway through until they're warm and pliable.
  • Place a rounded 1/4 cup of chicken-cheese blend in the middle of the tortilla then roll and transfer to the baking dish seam side down (you should get 6-8 enchiladas depending on how you fill).
  • Pour the Buffalo Enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas then sprinkle with remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese melted. Optional: broil 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the top. Add your favorite toppings and serve right away.
