Chicken Enchiladas

By Chef George Duran

About this Recipe

These enchiladas come together in a flash by using store-bought rotisserie chicken. Of course, you could always use a Brava-roasted spatchcock chicken if you are feeling adventurous. If you don’t like enchiladas verdes (green enchiladas), try using the classic red enchilada sauce instead!
