Spicy Chicken Enchiladas
Spicy Chicken Enchiladas are a fiery twist on a classic comfort food. Tender shredded chicken is bathed in a smoky, homemade enchilada sauce and wrapped in soft corn tortillas. Each roll is topped with melted cheese, baked until bubbly, and finished with cool sour cream and fresh cilantro. Every bite delivers the perfect balance of heat, creaminess, and authentic Mexican flavor.
