It’s only 5 ingredients and in the “easy & delicious” category, it’s a 5-star. This Guacamole Salsa Chicken Enchilada Casserole could be a new go-to favorite because one jar of a store bought savory sauce does pretty much all the work! Herdez Guacamole Salsa is one of the newest products in the Herdez family of salsas and I’m happy to have stumbled upon it because of this recipe. You may have seen it on grocery store shelves and wondered what to do with it. This enchilada recipe is the perfect place to start. The guacamole salsa is a rich and creamy blend of avocado, tomatillo, chiles and spices with a bit less kick than most salsas but the flavor is all there! All you need is a jar of this special sauce, some corn tortillas, rotisserie chicken, some cheese and cream and in about 20 minutes you’ll have a fantastic meal! It’s as easy as it gets, but if you want to take the dish to a new level of flavor, I’ve added an additional recipe for homemade tortillas. Es delicioso!

- Remove all skin and bones from rotisserie chicken. With your hands, tear off chicken into strips. Pour one half of the Herdez Guacamole Salsa into a shallow dish (large enough to dredge tortillas.) Cover and heat salsa in microwave for 1 minute. Dredge both sides of the tortilla in the warm salsa then place in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Fill one side of tortilla with a few strips of chicken and about 2 tablespoons of cheese. Roll up tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken and cheese to fill up casserole dish. Add 1 cup of half and half to the remainder of the salsa in the jar and shake vigorously. Pour over the rolled up tortillas. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. To get a golden brown top, turn on broiler mode of oven and cook for about 5 minutes or until browned. Serve immediately.
