I don’t know about you, but my brain is about toast coming up with unique and tasty dinner ideas for the remainder of the year. Initially I was stoked to dig into my recipes and cookbooks, but now, many long months later, I want to throw in the towel!
So I did a deep dive back into some of my favorite recipes from the previous year, and came across these Guacamole Salsa Chicken Enchiladas. They’re relatively simple and the one-pan concept is a winner.
All this to say, that any one-pan recipe, that also allows for ample leftovers the remainder of the week is a winner x100!
I’m a Tex-Mex lover through and through, but I admit it’s usually not my go-to when cooking at home. I’d rather head out to our favorite local spot, Escalante’s or Goode Co. Cantina, because they do it right! But with all the restrictions and precautions in place, fulfilling my Tex-Mex cravings had to happen from home.
We love these easy guacamole salsa chicken enchiladas in the Haines household. The chicken inside is shredded and tender and the sauce is easily made from a jar of Herdez Guacamole Salsa, so to eliminate the time and extra work it takes to make an enchilada sauce from scratch.
Simple ingredients and easy to make, these guacamole salsa chicken enchiladas are delicious! Read on below for the full recipe.
