Street Corn Chicken Enchiladas

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

I made these street corn enchiladas for a family Sunday dinner and I was blown away by the positive feedback that I received.

They all went absolutely crazy for these. They may just be the best enchiladas that I’ve made to date.

We’ve been eating White Chicken Enchiladas and Cheesy Beef Enchiladas on rotation for a while now. This recipe was a nice change up.

Who doesn’t love street corn? To incorporate all of those delicious flavors into the already popular chicken enchilada was a home run.

By using a rotisserie chicken and premade green chili sauce, this recipe was a breeze to put together.

This would be the perfect recipe to make on a busy weeknight. The ingredients are simple and require very minimal effort on my part.

If you’re looking for a super easy to make and delicious recipe that the whole family will love, this one is it!

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Street Corn Chicken Enchiladas Variations

I like this enchilada recipe made just the way it is but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Chicken- Use any kind of cooked/ cubed chicken that you’d like.
• Tortillas- Flour or Corn tortillas both work here so choose your favorite.
• Cheese- Any kind of cheese is ok to use. Just be sure to shred the cheese yourself because it will melt much better that way.
• Heat- Add some diced green chilis or use pepper jack cheese to add some spice to this dish.
