These are so tasty that when my daughter got an A on a test, she asked if I could make them as her reward. As always, I welcome your comments, suggestions, and feedback on my blog!

Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas!

Ingredients

Sauce:
14.5 oz Can of Diced Tomatoes
8 oz Can of Tomato Sauce
½ Cup of Frank’s Red Hot (regular or hot wing style – which ever you prefer)
4 oz Can of Mild Green Chilis
1 Garlic Clove
½ TSP Fresh Ground Pepper
½ TSP Chipotle Chili Powder
4 oz Cream Cheese

Filling:
2 Cups of Cooked Chicken (Rotisserie works great)
¼ Cup of Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
¼ Cup Frank’s RedHot
8-10 Corn Tortillas

Toppings:
½ Cup of Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
4 oz Bleu Cheese Crumbles
¼ cup Diced White Onion

Garnish (optional):
Chopped green onions
Bleu Cheese Crumbles
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Extra Frank’s RedHot

Directions

Sauce – Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and cook on medium-low until hot, thick and bubbly, about 10-15 minutes. Lightly spray 9×12″ glass baking pan with non-stick spray and spread about ¾ cup of the cooked sauce evenly to coat the bottom of the pan.

Filling – Shred chicken or cut into bite size pieces. In a bowl, combine chicken, cheese, and ¼ Cup of Frank’s Red Hot.

Warm tortillas in the microwave until soft, about 30 seconds. Or if you prefer a crunchy texture, fry them in oil for a few minutes on each side, then pat dry with paper towels.

Lay one tortilla in the baking pan, fill center with chicken/cheese mixture. Fold one side over and roll tightly to contain the filling with the seam facing down. Repeat the process until all of the chicken has been used, keeping a small space between each enchilada, if you like them to have a more crispy tortilla or have them touch if you prefer softer tortillas.

Pour remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas and cover with toppings. Cook in a 375 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes or until hot, bubbly and edges start to brown. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Add some extra pizzazz by serving the enchiladas topped with any of the garnishes you like!
