Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional for heat)
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, ground ginger, minced garlic, and Sriracha if using. Stir until smooth and heated through. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of the prepared peanut sauce. Mix until well-coated.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle a small amount of cheese over the chicken, then roll the tortilla tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Pour the remaining peanut sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, chopped peanuts, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this fusion of Thai and Mexican flavors!
