What Makes This Easy Gluten-Free Enchiladas So Good

You know that moment when you’re craving enchiladas but gluten says, “Not today, buddy”? Yeah, me too. That’s why I spent an embarrassing amount of time perfecting these easy gluten-free enchiladas—so you don’t have to.

No weird ingredients, no sad tortillas falling apart mid-bite, just cheesy, saucy perfection. And before you ask: yes, they’re foolproof. Even my cat could make them (if she had thumbs).

Imagine biting into an enchilada that doesn’t taste like it’s missing something.

That’s the magic here. The corn tortillas soak up just enough sauce without turning to mush, and the filling? Creamy, spicy, and packed with flavor.

Plus, they’re nostalgic—like the ones your abuela made, minus the gluten guilt. Who said gluten-free had to be boring?

Ingredients

Grab these pantry staples and one quirky hero ingredient (trust me, it’s worth it):

• 12 corn tortillas (the sturdy kind—no flimsy business)
• 2 cups shredded chicken (or jackfruit for a vegan twist)
• 1 can gluten-free enchilada sauce (or homemade if you’re fancy)
• 1.5 cups shredded cheese (dairy-free works too)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (the secret to creamy filling)
• 1 tsp cumin (because life needs spice)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional, but highly recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. No one likes a cold enchilada surprise.
2. Mix the filling. Combine chicken, yogurt, cumin, and half the cheese. Taste it—chef’s privilege.
3. Warm the tortillas. 10 seconds in the microwave prevents cracking.
   

   Science!

4. Roll ‘em up. Fill each tortilla, place seam-side down in a dish, and repeat. Channel your inner burrito artist.
5. Drown in sauce. Pour sauce evenly, then sprinkle remaining cheese. Bake 20 minutes until bubbly.

Storage Instructions

These easy gluten-free enchiladas are meal-prep gold. Fridge: Store covered for 3 days. Freezer: Wrap tightly—they last 3 months.
