Colorful Buffalo chicken enchiladas inspired by the Mexican flag.
Ingredients:
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), divided
  • 1 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 0.25 white onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
  • 2 avocados, sliced, divided
  • 6 ounces Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 4 ounces Manchego cheese, or to taste, grated
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a baking dish, lay the chicken evenly and generously coat it with 1/4 cup of tantalizing wing sauce. Top it with colorful bell peppers and onions, then drizzle a sweet touch of honey over the mix. Seal it all in with a foil cover.
  • Cook the dish until the chicken becomes tender, approximately 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.
  • In a blender, blend 1 1/2 avocados with Greek yogurt and salsa verde until you achieve a smooth sauce with a bit of texture.
  • Place the chicken onto a cutting board. Set aside the drippings, and keep the bell pepper and onion. Use tongs or a fork to shred the chicken, then stir in the remaining 1/4 cup wing sauce.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a hint of olive oil. Fill each tortilla with a modest portion of shredded chicken, bell pepper, and onion. Roll them up and arrange them seam-side down in the dish.
  • Drizzle sauce over each enchilada, ensuring a light coating. Save some sauce for later. Sprinkle majority of the grated Manchego cheese on top.
  • Bake for around 10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Drizzle each serving with extra sauce and sprinkle with more grated cheese. Garnish each plate with the remaining avocado slices.
