We love hosting a Mexican food night at home and this easy Slow Cooked Mexican Chicken Enchiladas recipe always goes down a treat with our friends.
Tender slow-cooked chicken thighs in a rich and smoky tomato sauce wrapped in soft tortillas and baked with oodles of gooey cheese – this is a great dish for entertaining as you do all the preparation in advance. We like to use a good strong Cheddar with plenty of depth of flavour. For an extra crisp top, flash the cooked dish under a hot grill for a few minutes.
Our Chipotle Paste, made with a secret blend of Chipotle and Mexican chillies, is the perfect ingredient to give this dish the big bold flavour that it needs.
Be sure to also check out our Green Enchiladas recipe made with our Green Enchilada Cooking Sauce.
In this Mexican Chicken enchiladas recipe, we’ve used wheat tortillas but if you want to make the dish gluten-free swap them out for corn ones.
Give it a go and serve alongside a nice green salad.

I love making enchiladas and usually use one of those kits you can buy but I decided to try this recipe with more time to cook in isolation and OMG I loved it!! The chipotle paste really gave a better flavour than those shop bought kits and the overall method wasn’t even that much more work to usual kits!! Deffo would recommend to anyone and have found my new enchilada recipe!
