I thought I might make some makeshift chicken enchiladas tonight. The plan is: Shred some roasted chicken. Mix in some green chiles. Dip corn tortillas in warm enchilada sauce. Roll the chicken and chiles and some shredded cheese in the tortillas. Pour sauce over enchiladas. Top with shredded cheese and sliced olives. Heat in the oven at 325ºF until it’s hot all the way through.
Anything wrong with that?
Sounds like the way I normally make enchiladas. Although sometimes I layer it lasagna-style when rolling them is too much work.
You forgot the tequila. As in, “combine tequila with cointreau and lime juice, drink while making chicken enchiladas.”
Those just sound like regular enchiladas to me.
Personally, I toss in a little diced onion with the chicken, but that’s just me. Hope you have the cilantro and sour cream for topping those suckers.
Chiles relleno, burritos, tacos, other things… But I’ve never made enchiladas. I just wanted to use up the leftover roasted chicken. I’m glad it sounds as if I’ll be doing them right.
Alas, out of onion. We have sour cream, and I think there’s some cilantro in the fridge.
Yeah, basics sound fine to me. What I like to do, though, is take the chicken and fry it up briefly in a bit of oil, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and even a tiny bit of whatever you’re using for the enchilada sauce to develop the flavor a bit. It’s not necessary, but, for my tastes, it’s what I like.
I enjoy throwing a little cooking cream into the shredded chicken mix, along with some corn.
Glad you have cilantro.
They’re assembled and ready to go into the oven.
No cream, since I didn’t want to make a creamy sauce. The SO does the cream of mushroom soup thing, and I wanted to be different.
Band name!
Another band name!
OP, the enchiladas sound fantastic! Go for it 
Turned out good for a first attempt. Needed salsa. SO said I should use pepperjack cheese next time.
There was chicken left from the enchiladas so I mixed in some taco seasoning, steamed some corn tortillas, and made 16 chicken taquitos. They’re in the freezer waiting to be fried for a quick snack. (Must buy or make guacamole when the time comes.)
Don’t forget the essential step Athena mentioned.
Yes, we have no tequila. We have no tequila today!
Instead recite tequila mockingbird.
Cumin, onion, and garlic - your enchiladas need all three, I think. At least, mine definitely do.
