Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

Enchiladas, no matter what's in them is my favorite! Well, actually, Mexican food is my favorite!

But there's nothing better than a hot, cheesy, creamy, enchilada.

With the addition of buffalo wing sauce you really take enchiladas to a whole other level of food goodness!

This is a really simple dish of chicken mixed with creamy ranch dressing, Greek yogurt, hot sauce and a little enchilada sauce.

Next, I sauteed the well seasoned chicken in olive oil with onion, celery, and garlic.

Lastly, I assembled the enchiladas by softening the tortilla shells, dipping them in the buffalo sauce, then placing chicken and cheese inside the shell and rolling these babies up!

Bake the enchiladas covered with foil for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake about 10 minutes more.

All done and ready to eat. Pass me a fork!
