Pineapple Chicken Enchiladas combine tender chicken and sweet pineapple wrapped in soft tortillas, smothered in a zesty enchilada sauce.

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
1 cup enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pineapple chunks, half of the cheese, and red onion (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  4. Spoon the chicken-pineapple mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
  5. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Place the rolled-up enchiladas seam side down in the dish.
  6. Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve hot.
