If you often gravitate towards super easy recipes, then this Ranch Chicken Enchiladas Recipe will hit the spot! You will find it is a simple meal-prep friendly recipe.
These Enchiladas are quite filling, so you may want to wait a few minutes before adding another one to your plate. (Stated from experience 😂)
Being this recipe requires cooked chicken, you can cook chicken specifically for this recipe with mexican style seasoning or you can use leftover chicken from another style chicken dish.
Many times I will use the previously deboned chicken from this roasted chicken recipe, which works great.
My sister was the one to share this recipe with me a couple years ago, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.
