Warm, cheesy, and bursting with fresh flavor — these enchiladas are smothered in Texan Heartland’s Hill Country Verde Hot Sauce. The creamy blend of avocado, tomatillo, and roasted poblano makes each bite mild yet vibrant, creating a family-friendly dish that feels both comforting and authentically Texan.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
1 cup Texan Heartland Hill Country Verde Hot Sauce (plus more for serving)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (divided)
½ cup sour cream
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 small flour or corn tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Preheat oven: Heat to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish
Make the filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Stir in shredded chicken, ½ cup cheese, ¼ cup Texan Heartland Hill Country Verde Hot Sauce, and sour cream. Mix until combined.
Assemble the enchiladas: Spoon filling into tortillas, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Top with sauce and cheese: Pour remaining Texan Heartland Hill Country Verde Hot Sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with lime wedges.

Recipe Note

For extra richness, drizzle a little warm Hill Country Verde Hot Sauce on the plate before placing the enchiladas. It creates a restaurant-style presentation and adds more of that fresh, creamy flavor.
