Cook's notes
- For best results, use a rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne to the chicken mixture.
- Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
Easy swaps
- Instead of salsa verde, use red enchilada sauce for a milder, tomato-based flavor
- Instead of alfredo sauce, use cream of chicken soup thinned with milk
- Instead of flour tortillas, use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option
