This TikTok Lazy Enchiladas with Green Sauce are a perfect weeknight meal. They require almost no prep and are ready in under 30 minutes.
To make these enchiladas you only need 3 ingredients: Taquitos (beef or chicken), enchilada sauce and Mexican-Style cheese.
For this recipe I used chicken taquitos and green enchilada sauce. I like tomatillo sauce because it is tangy but not too spicy.
I personally like red enchilada sauce with beef enchiladas and green or white sauce for chicken enchiladas but it's totally personal preference.
If you don't want to use taquitos, you can also use corn tortillas and rotisserie chicken to make these lazy enchiladas.
What to serve with Enchiladas
These dish is easily a stand alone meal, however you can add traditional side dishes like beans and rice.
If you'd like to lighten up this meal, I highly recommend adding a side salad like this Green Goddess Cabbage Salad.
Can you make this ahead?
Since this recipe requires no prep, it is best to make it when you ae going to eat it.
I had leftovers and re heated them in my air fryer and they were delicious. You can cover them with foil to avoid the cheese from browning too much.
Yes! They re heat great. I use the air fryer to re heat them at 400 Fahrenheit for about 3 minutes.
Since we are using frozen taquitos to make this recipe, I do not recommend refreezing it.
You can substitute it for any melty cheese such as mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
