Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas

Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas

Quick and easy chicken and avocado enchiladas covered in plenty of melted cheese!

Chicken and avocado burritos are one of my favourite recipes, and one that I’m making all the time! The chicken and avocado combo is absolutely amazing in burritos and its also spectacular in enchiladas! You really can’t go wrong taking chicken and avocado burritos and smothering them in enchilada sauce and cheese before baking until the cheese has melted! Really! It’s that easy! You just take the burritos, place them in a baking dish, pour on an enchilada sauce, sprinkle with cheese and bake! I like to make a simple salsa verde and avocado ‘enchilada sauce’ but a store bought green enchilada sauce also works well and it’s super convenient! If you’re looking for a family friendly, quick and easy dinner for busy work nights, these chicken and avocado enchiladas can’t be beat!

Does rolling up all of those enchiladas sound like too much work? How about just making tacos, spreading them out on a plate and topping them with the enchilada sauce and cheese and baking until the cheese has melted! Free-form enchilada tacos! (Open-faced enchiladas?)

    Turned out great! Used cheddar cheese to make it a little milder for the kids and is a fave!

    You can even do the enchiladas casserole-style! Layer the tortillas first, then add the other ingredients in layers, add another tortilla layer, add the ingredients again. My mom was born in Mexico and she totally does this!

    Looks like you used flour tortillas, making these, basically, smothered burros.Enchiladas and tacos are made with corn tortillas. If you want to use flour tortillas, that’s your choice. They just aren’t enchiladas or tacos.
