Total Time: 50 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds cooked chicken, shredded
  2. 1 (1.6 oz) package Buffalo wing seasoning mix (such as McCormick®)
  3. 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch salad dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
  4. 2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese
  5. 2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
  6. 1 cup chili sauce (such as Frank’s® RedHot Wings® Buffalo sauce)
  7. 8 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  8. 1 (4.5 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking pan.
  2. Place chicken in a large bowl and add Buffalo wing seasoning and ranch dressing mix. Toss to coat.
  3. Combine pepper Jack cheese and Colby-Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl; reserve 1 cup of cheese mixture. Reserve about 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce and pour the rest into a shallow bowl.
  4. Coat both sides of a tortilla with Buffalo sauce and place on a plate. Add desired amount of chicken and cheese mixture. Roll tortilla and place seam-side down in the prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Cover enchiladas with reserved cheese mixture and drizzle with reserved Buffalo sauce.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and tortilla edges are starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Top with blue cheese before serving.
  6. You can make your shredded chicken on the stove if you like and season it with the ranch mix and Buffalo wing mix packages. I cook my chicken in the slow cooker because its much easier to shred. Just put the thawed chicken breast in the slow cooker with the 2 packages of mix and a little Frank’s(R) hot sauce and let it cook for a few hours. The chicken shreds easily and is full of flavor. Shred chicken and drain the excess sauce.
