We love ranch in our family. Especially my boys. Everything gets dipped in ranch! I have a recipe for ranch tacos and I wanted to try to make ranch enchiladas. Ummm it was safe to say my experiment turned out amazing!! My hubby said these are the best and even heated some up again before going to bed. The flavor combination of the ranch and salsa was delicious and the ranch drizzled on top was perfect! I was so happy with how these turned out and our family loved them!
Rating: 5 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 3 stars
Ingredients:
3-4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 package chicken taco seasoning
1 package ranch dry salad dressing
1/2 cup bottled ranch
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can chicken broth
1 package white flour tortillas
1. Cook and shred the chicken. I cooked mine in the slow cooker with the ranch packet and taco seasoning packages in the chicken broth. The chicken just peeled apart. I cooked it on low for about 3-4 hours.
2. Mix the 1/2 cup of ranch and 1/2 salsa in a bowl. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread a very thin layer of the mixture on the bottom.
3. Start assembling the enchiladas by putting 2 Tbs of the ranch and salsa mixture on the bottom of tortilla. Then put the shredded chicken on top of that. Sprinkle with cheese and roll it up.
4. Line up the enchiladas in the 9x13 pan and sprinkle heavily with the cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and enchiladas are heated through.
5. Drizzle the top with ranch and enjoy!

Oh my gosh, these look fabulous!!

Oh, I made half a batch of the egg nog cookies just to make sure they'd be good for my cookie exchange, OMG!! Soo good!
These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI made these for dinner tonight. They were so good! My daughter asked me if I could pack one in her lunch for school tomorrow. =)
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful and very easy to prepare! Happy new year by the way!
ReplyDeleteThese were AMAZING! I have picky eaters but you would of never known it because they cleaned their plates. Easy to make, definitely a keeper #onehappymom
ReplyDeleteI made these and they are so good! They will definitely be making it into my menu rotation.
ReplyDeleteYum! I have to try these. Did you use flour or corn tortillas?
ReplyDeleteI made these the other night for dinner. My husband actually said they are his new FAVORITE! :) I did have to add more salsa and ranch sauce, and I couldn't find chicken taco seasoning so I used just normal, and it still turned out DELICIOUS! :) I stinking love this blog! I am slowly becoming the "betty crocker" wife :)
ReplyDeleteEven though the recipe doesn't say, use corn tortillas. Flour tortillas get soggy. And you need to fry the corn tortillas in a bit of vegatable oil before rolling otherwise they are to stiff and fall apart.
ReplyDeleteI've made many enchiladas with flour tortillas and they've turned out fine. The recipe calls for flour ones. And unfortunately here in Canada that's about all you'll find. Our Mexican food selection is awful. :(
DeleteYUM! This looks AMAZING! I am suddenly wishing I was your neighbor so I could eat dinner with you.... I had cereal tonight :o)

Oh this looks yummy. I am always looking for another chicken enchilada recipe and really need to try this one. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico so I think I might need to offer some green chili with it too! Thanks for the yummies.
ReplyDeleteHaha, right? We Albuquerquians need to add green to EVERYTHING! :)
DeleteSeriously, my mouth is watering....
ReplyDeleteMmm...anything with a ranch & salsa combination is a winner in my book! YUM!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy! Perfect for picky eaters who dump ranch on anything and everything!
ReplyDeleteI Like it!
Oh My These look Great! I am for sure to make them for dinner very very very soon!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks and sounds amazing!! I really would like to try making it. However, I do not currently have a crockpot. Do you have any other suggestions for cooking the chicken with the seasonings?
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin-
DeleteI made these last night and also do not have a crockpot. I simmered thawed chicken breasts in the suggested mixture for a half hour until they were cooked through and then shredded them. They turned out well!
These are fantastic! I'm currently making them for the second time after trying out this recipe several weeks ago. I couldn't get enough :) And they're pretty simple to make, just take a little time. The first time I made this I didn't use quite as much ranch and they still turned out great, but this time around I used the suggested amount. Can't wait until they're done!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of tortillas did you use? How many enchiladas does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteI used white tortillas. And it makes about 6-8 tortillas. :)
Deletewhite meaning flour correct?
DeleteI also used white "flour" tortillas... soft taco size and fit 8 of them snugly into a 9x13 pan. They are currently baking in my oven as I type :)
DeleteI just found this recipe from Pinterest. They look delicious! What is the side dish you have in the picture?
ReplyDeleteI made these last night and added some personal touches. While cooking the chicken in the crockpot, I also added onion and 1 small can of chopped green chilis. For the ranch/salsa mix, I used one 7oz can Herdez Salsa Verde, then 7oz of ranch, after preparing the enchiladas, I topped them with the leftover ranch/salsa mix, then topped them with cheese then baked them. YUM! Possibly the best chicken enchiladas I have ever eaten!
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight for dinner. Not bad . Not bad at all. I would advise to cook chicken in the broth and the taco mix, gives chicken more flavor. I also made an extra batch of sauce and drizzled that over the enchiladas for more flavor. I like than there is nothing canned in the ingredients. This is definitively going to be in my dinner rotations
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find chicken taco seasoning? I have only seen taco seasoning, I suppose for ground beef....
ReplyDeleteMmmm this looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI made these tonight, they were good but extremely salty! I even used low sodium taco seasoning & low sodium chicken broth...any suggestions for the next time I make them?
ReplyDeleteI am making these right now. I'm concerned that I wasn't able to defrost the chicken. Should I still cook it on low or put it on high to have it ready by 6:30/7:00? I also may have put in too much broth, is that possible?
ReplyDeleteTried this the other day and LOVED IT!! Thank you for this; using it today on my blog and linking it also back to your site! :-)
