BBQ Chicken Enchiladas bring a whole new flavor and love to enchiladas!
Back when I first started blogging and cooking regularly, I tried out BBQ Chicken Enchiladas and we instantly fell in love.
Over the years, I have grown to love my basic Chicken Enchilada recipe and have adapted it to be gluten free as well. I decided to use my favorite Chicken Enchiladas and mix in a little BBQ Sauce to give it a whole new flare.
My kids LOVED these and so did my husband. It definitely gives them a sweet and spicy taste. It’s also a nice change from our typical enchiladas as far as flavor goes.
I like to top ours with the leftover filling for the inside too. I use white corn tortillas for ours and that means I can make quite a few more because they are smaller; however, you can always use flour tortillas if gluten isn’t an issue for you.
These BBQ Enchiladas are such a great twist on traditional enchiladas. They give a nice tangy flavor. You’ll find that you start preferring these over the traditional version.
These are also a great dish to share for a potluck, it’s a nice switch. I bet your guests will be surprised when they taste them too.
Are you ready for a delicious dinner night? Make it an enchilada night!

Thanks for stopping by! These are delicious, I was skeptical at first, but they didn’t last at our house. There were no leftovers!
