We like to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but in our house, we cook with tortillas at least once a week. They’re such a versatile menu item. Whether we’re making our Easy Chicken Enchiladas, burritos for a quick weeknight meal, or cinnamon tortilla chips, TortillaLand® uncooked flour tortillas from Costco are the easiest way to cook with tortillas. You can find them in the refrigerated section of Costco. They’re so easy to prepare and cook with. Just a few seconds of cooking per side, and you’re done! They come in a pack of 50 (two 25 packs) so you can use one and freeze one for later).

Easy Chicken Enchiladas Tortillaland Tortillas

Our Easy Chicken Enchiladas are a crowd pleaser. It’s an easy enough recipe the kids can help prep and cook, but if I only make one batch of 8 enchiladas, my kids fight over who gets seconds! They’re always coming back for more and asking me to make it another night. This recipe is a win.

  8. Set up an assembly line to assemble the enchiladas. Tortillas, chicken mixture, cheese, and red sauce.

    We use tortillas for dozens of recipes. My favorite thing to make is a bratwurst wrapped in a tortilla, We call that a Texas corndog.
