Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped green chilies
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Enchilada Sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup plant-based sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup diced green chilies
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Assembly

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups plant-based cheese

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Dollop of plant-based sour cream
  • Extra plant-based cheese
  • Slices of avocado
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook on medium heat for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
  2. Make the Creamy Enchilada Sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, plant-based sour cream, and natural gelling agent until smooth. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), diced green chilies, and garlic powder. Simmer gently, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to a silky consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Assemble the Enchiladas: Warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable. Spoon the chicken filling onto each tortilla evenly, then sprinkle with plant-based cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce generously over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with extra plant-based cheese on top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is slightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken beautifully.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking and tearing.
  • Distribute filling and cheese evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Simmer the sauce on low heat to prevent separation and deepen flavors.
  • Let the dish rest after baking to allow the sauce to set perfectly.
  • Add fresh herbs like cilantro just before serving for extra freshness.
