Enchilada con Queso
These cheesy chicken enchiladas are filled with pepper Jack cheese, tomato slices, grated zucchini and olives, and topped with a generous amount of Colby cheese.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 cup prepared mild enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas (6-inch diameter each)
12 slices tomato, thinly sliced
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded pepper Jack cheese
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Colby cheese
Suggested Toppings: sour cream, guacamole
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Mix the pepper Jack cheese with the chicken, zucchini, and olives.
- Place a 2-ounce scoop onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place, seam side down, on a sheet pan lined with silicone or well greased. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Colby cheese over each enchilada.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the filling is hot.
