Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

These Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas are a flavor mashup you'll love at first bite!

Ingredients

  • 4 oz Buffalo Wing sauce, I used Frank’s Red Hot Brand Buffalo Wing Sauce
  • 12 oz canned tomato sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 oz reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded (I used Cabot 50% cheddar, but you can also use pre-shredded 2% cheddar)
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • 6 tablespoons light Blue cheese dressing, divided (I used Marie’s)
  • 10 6 inch corn tortillas , (I used Mission Extra Thin Yellow Corn Tortillas – they’re my favorite!)
  • 2 scallions, sliced (green parts only)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425. Lightly mist a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the wing sauce, tomato sauce, garlic, chili powder, cumin and sugar until thoroughly combined and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or sauté pan, bring the oil to medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for a couple minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant. Add the chicken breasts in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes on one side, flip them over, and then continue to cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Add the sauce mixture to the pan and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Remove the lid from the pan and transfer each breast to a cutting board, shredding it using two forks. Transfer the shredded chicken to a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup of the sauce from the pan to the chicken along with the shredded cheese, diced celery and a tablespoon of the blue cheese dressing. Mix everything in the bowl together until well combined.
  • Microwave the tortillas for 30-60 seconds on high until warm and soft. Spread 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla and tightly roll it up. Place the rolled tortilla seam side down in the prepared baking dish and repeat with the remaining tortillas. I fit them perfectly by placing 8 in a row and then placing two Spray the tops of the rolled tortillas with cooking spray above them, perpendicular to the others. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes until tortillas are slightly crispy.
  • Reduce the heat to 400 (don’t forget!) and pour the remainder of the sauce evenly over the tops of the enchiladas. Place back in the oven for an additional 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle a half a tablespoon of blue cheese dressing over the top of each enchilada. Sprinkle the sliced scallions over the top of the entire dish and serve.
