Gluten-free Dairy-free Enchiladas
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded chicken see notes
- 1 cup dairy-free cheese we prefer So-Delicious
- 1 bunch cilantro optional
- 14 gluten-free corn or flour tortillas
Enchilada Sauce
- 2 15oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine well all of the enchilada sauce ingredients and bring to boil. Then turn down to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Once enchilada sauce is done simmering, pour 3/4 cup enchilada sauce into shredded chicken and stir to combine.
-
Cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan with enchilada sauce, about 3/4 cup
-
If tortillas are cold (i.e. have been stored in the fridge) and not flexible, wrap in a wet paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to heat. Skip this step if tortillas are room temperature.
-
Spread a generous 1/4 cup of chicken/sauce mixture into each tortilla. Wrap and place seam side down into the 9x13 pan. Repeat with all 14 tortillas.
-
Cover the top of the tortillas in the pan with the remaining enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with dairy-free cheese.
-
Cook in oven for 25 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
I like to make my shredded chicken by steaming 2 large chicken breasts in my instant pot (on the "Steam" setting) with 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. When done and while still hot, I shred it by mixing it with my Kitchen Aid or hand mixer (covering with a kitchen towel to prevent a big mess!).

Delicious with my Spanish Cauliflower Rice as a side!
