My kids favorite way to do enchiladas, covered in cheese and drizzled with ranch. This simple Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas are sure to be a family favorite.
Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas
My kids aren’t that picky but they have their favorites. If it was up to them they would be eating mac and cheese and chicken nuggets every night for dinner. They didn’t argue with me though over these Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas. They ate them right up and enjoyed every bite. I think I could ranch on just about anything and get my kids to eat it 😉

I was the same way as a kid! It was pretty gross thinking back on it now but I put ranch on hot dogs and spaghetti. Needless to say I loved these Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas just as much as the kids did! We usually have a Mexican style food about once a week and this was a fun new way to have enchiladas.
How to make Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a casserole dish by spreading 2 tbsp salsa on the bottom. Start by cooking chicken fully then shredding. Add cooked and shredded chicken into a mixing bowl. In mixing bowl with chicken add 1/2 cup ranch dressing, salsa, ranch seasoning, and taco seasoning. Mix well together. Add ranch chicken filling into flour tortillas then place in prepared casserole dish. Top with cheese then bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are warm throughout. Top with remaining ranch dressing and garnish with fresh cilantro.

at 4:05 pmGlad you have something for the top Michele! We likes out with just the cheese and ranch but homemade queso in it sounds amazing!

at 12:44 pmLooks amazing. Made them last night. I like the flavor of the ranch and salsa with the chicken but it needed a sauce on top. The tortillas were too dry. Fortunately, I had some homemade queso to pour over them.
