Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Enchiritos
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture down the center, leaving space on the edges.
Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, arranging them snugly in the dish.
Step 4: Add the Sauce
In a small saucepan, whisk together the enchilada sauce and chicken broth (and garlic, if using) over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Pour the sauce evenly over the assembled enchiritos, ensuring they’re fully coated.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Sprinkle additional shredded cheese over the top of the enchiritos. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the sauce is heated through.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Let the enchiritos cool for a few minutes before serving. Top generously with fresh cilantro, sour cream, diced avocado, and lime wedges for added flair.

Tips for Success
Don’t Overfill the Tortillas : Too much filling can cause the enchiritos to unravel during assembly or baking.
Use High-Quality Cheese : Opt for aged cheeses like Monterey Jack or queso blanco for better melting and richer flavor.
Make It Vegetarian : Replace the chicken with black beans, roasted vegetables, or tofu for a plant-based option.
Store Properly : Keep leftovers refrigerated and reheat them in the microwave or oven for optimal results.
Serving Suggestions
These Enchiritos pair beautifully with:

Rice & Beans : Serve alongside fluffy Spanish rice and refried beans for a complete meal.
Salad : Balance the richness with a side of mixed greens dressed in citrus vinaigrette.
Cornbread : Warm cornbread makes a perfect accompaniment for soaking up leftover sauce.
Guacamole : Offer a bowl of guac for dipping or spreading on top.
