Cooking Steps

Prep & Make Filling
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  • Coat oven-ready tray with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Place chicken in a large bowl; using two forks (or your hands), break up into smaller pieces. Add Southwest Spice Blend and one-quarter of the green salsa (you’ll use the rest in the next step); stir to combine.

Assemble Enchiladas
2
  • Place a small amount of filling on one half of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create enchiladas. Arrange, seam sides down, in prepared tray (for 4 servings, evenly divide enchiladas between two prepared trays).

  • Top enchiladas with remaining green salsa. Sprinkle evenly with Mexican cheese blend. (For 4, divide ingredients between two trays.)

 

Bake Enchiladas
3
  • Coat one side of a piece of aluminum foil (two pieces for 4 servings) with nonstick cooking spray. Cover tray tightly with foil, coated side down.

  • Bake enchiladas on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until chicken is warmed through and cheese is browned and melted, 30-35 minutes. (For 4, bake two trays side by side on top rack.) 

Finish & Serve
4
  • Carefully remove foil (watch out for steam!). Drizzle enchiladas with sour cream and as much hot sauce as you like.

  • Divide enchiladas between plates and serve.

Review summary

Updated on Apr 2026
  • Flavor: Many loved the spicy kick and found it flavorful, though some found it too spicy or bland without extra seasoning.
  • Ease of prep: Customers rave about the super-easy 5-minute prep and love the included disposable baking tray for minimal cleanup.
  • Suggestions: Add extra cheese inside and on top; some prefer corn tortillas over flour to avoid sogginess. Consider adding black beans, onions, or rice for more substance and flavor.
  • Portions: Most found portions satisfying for two people, with many enjoying leftovers the next day.
  • Chicken texture: The sous vide chicken divides opinions — some love the convenience while others prefer cooking fresh chicken themselves.

These enchiladas were very good. There was more than enough filling, which I loved. I also liked that the chicken filling was pre-cooked.

Very delicious, only complaint would be that there wasn't enough southwest seasoning and cheese for the amount of chicken. But the amount of chicken was awesome!

Might have liked more cheese to put on the inside too but this was so much easier than the other enchilada recipes. Fit in the pan nicely!!

The picture and the pictures in the direction show red sauce. I always keep red enchilada sauce on hand in my pantry. When I look at the main picture of a recipe I've had before, I don't always look at the specific ingredients. This one did have green sauce listed. When I opened this one up, I was disappointed as I did not have green sauce in the cupboard that night. It's very misleading when the picture shows red sauce enchiladas. And although we eat both, there are some people that do not like green sauce enchiladas. Please update the photo to reflect the correct color of sauce.

I sub the green salsa to mild and it was much better. I added refried beans to the chicken and it really upped the flavor.

Flavor is good, Chicken was hard to shred, enchiladas are a little mushy on the bottom. Would be better if they were air fried first and then baked. Suggest to also put cheese on the inside
