Chicken chipotle enchiladas are a perfect easy weeknight meal, and work great as leftovers! They check all of the boxes: hearty, zesty, creamy, smoky, and spicy - it's everything you want in a fast and flavorful Tex-Mex meal.
Step 2. In large bowl, add the shredded chicken, 1 cup of enchilada sauce, chipotle chiles, cumin, garlic, and salt. Stir until well combined. Add ½ cup of each cheese to bowl (1 cup total) and stir to combine.
Step 3. Place stack of tortillas on a large plate or baking sheet. Add ¼ cup of chicken-cheese mixture to one tortilla and roll up tightly. Place rolled tortilla into baking dish. Repeat with remaining chicken filling and tortillas.
Step 4. Use a pastry brush or the back of a large spoon to add remaining enchilada sauce to tops of rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Step 5. Bake enchiladas for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese becomes bubbly and golden.
Step 6. Garnish enchiladas with cilantro, scallions, and/or pickled onions. Serve warm.
