Ingredients

11 Components
Chicken Filling & Assembly
Olive Oil 1 Tbsp.
Yellow Onion Small diced 1 medium
Fresh Garlic Chopped ½ tsp.
Grilled Chicken Breast Shredded 2 lbs.
Soft Corn Tortillas 10–12 count
Cheddar Cheese Shredded 1 lb.
Ancho Chile Enchilada Sauce
Crushed Tomatoes 2 cups
Water 2 cups
RC Ancho Chile Flavor Concentrate Adjusted to taste 1–2 Tbsp.
Cornstarch 1 Tbsp.
Scallions Chopped ¼ cup

Preparation Steps

1
Sauté Aromatics & Toss Chicken

Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small-diced medium onion and ½ tsp. chopped garlic; sauté until onions turn translucent and soft. Add 2 lbs. grilled, shredded chicken breast, mix thoroughly to combine, and remove from heat.

2
Simmer Ancho Enchilada Sauce

In a separate saucepan, combine 2 cups crushed tomatoes, 2 cups water, 1 tsp. RC Liquid GF Vegetable Consommé Prep, RC Ancho Chile Flavor Concentrate (to desired heat level, 1–2 Tbsp.), and 1 Tbsp. cornstarch slurry. Whisk well and simmer over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in ¼ cup chopped scallions and remove from heat.

3
Moisten Filling & Fill Tortillas

Fold ½ cup of the prepared warm Ancho enchilada sauce directly into the shredded chicken mixture to keep it moist during baking. Warm 10–12 soft corn tortillas on a flat-top or steam to make pliable. Portion chicken filling evenly down the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in an oiled hotel pan or baking dish.

4
Sauce, Top with Cheese & Bake

Ladle remaining warm Ancho enchilada sauce generously over rolled tortillas, completely covering exposed edges. Top with 1 lb. shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges.

Chef Notes & Flavor Concentrate Architecture

Ancho Chile Depth: Incorporating RC Ancho Chile Flavor Concentrate delivers deep, mildly sweet, raisin-and-smokey chili notes that instantly elevate crushed tomatoes into a authentic Mexican enchilada sauce without rehydrating dried chili pods.

Savory Vegetable Base Foundation: Using RC Liquid GF Vegetable Consommé Prep rounds out tomato acidity with a clean mirepoix backbone, ensuring a balanced sauce.

Corn Tortilla Pliability Tip: Dip corn tortillas briefly in hot sauce or pass through warm oil for 3 seconds before filling to prevent cracking along seams when rolling into the baking pan.
