Enchiladas on plate with green sauce — This enchiladas are so easy to make and surprisingly delicious

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.

Chicken and cheese taquitos, enchilada sauce and Mexican-Style cheese — These are the ingredients I used for this recipe. You can substitute for beef taquitos if you'd like

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.

Can you reheat the Enchiladas?

Yes! They re heat great. I use the air fryer to re heat them at 400 Fahrenheit for about 3 minutes.

Can you freeze the Enchiladas?

Since we are using frozen taquitos to make this recipe, I do not recommend refreezing it.

If you don't have Mexican-Style cheese what can you use?

You can substitute it for any melty cheese such as mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
