Mexican Enchiladas Recipe | Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with Red Chili Sauce

 Mexican Enchiladas are comforting tortillas filled with seasoned chicken, cheese, and onions, then rolled and covered with a rich red chili sauce before being baked until hot and bubbling. This classic Mexican dish combines tender shredded chicken with warm spices, melted cheese, and a flavorful enchilada sauce for a satisfying balance of savory, smoky, and mildly spicy flavors. Topped with fresh cilantro, onion, and a little sour cream, these enchiladas make a delicious family lunch or dinner and are perfect for gatherings and casual celebrations. 

Cooking Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until well seasoned.
  4. To make the sauce, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic, oregano, broth, and salt in a saucepan. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until flexible.
  6. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. Dip each tortilla lightly into the warm sauce, then fill with chicken, a little cheese, and onion.
  8. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  9. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  11. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  12. Garnish with cilantro, diced onion, sour cream, jalapeños, and lime wedges if desired.
  13. Serve hot with Mexican rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
