We love ranch in our family. Especially my boys. Everything gets dipped in ranch! I have a recipe for ranch tacos and I wanted to try to make ranch enchiladas. Ummm it was safe to say my experiment turned out amazing!! My hubby said these are the best and even heated some up again before going to bed. The flavor combination of the ranch and salsa was delicious and the ranch drizzled on top was perfect! I was so happy with how these turned out and our family loved them!Ranch chicken enchiladas on a white plate with rice on the side.

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Cook and shred the chicken. I cooked mine in the slow cooker with the ranch packet and taco seasoning packages in the chicken broth. The chicken just peeled apart. I cooked it on low for about 3-4 hours.
  • Mix the 1/2 cup of ranch and 1/2 salsa in a bowl. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread a very thin layer of the mixture on the bottom.
  • Start assembling the enchiladas by putting 2 Tbs of the ranch and salsa mixture on the bottom of tortilla. Then put the shredded chicken on top of that. Sprinkle with cheese and roll it up.
  • Line up the enchiladas in the 9x13 pan and sprinkle heavily with the cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and enchiladas are heated through.
  • Drizzle the top with ranch and enjoy!

  1. These are soooo good! I found this recipe a while back through Pinterest, and now it’s one of my favorites! Would it be okay if I put your recipe on my blog? I’d give credit and link over to your website. I love love love your site! So many recipes, so little time 😉

  2. I made this for dinner tonight, and we absolutely loved it! Such an interesting combo of ranch and enchiladas. I’ll definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

  3. These look amazing and I can’t wait to try them. Have you posted your Spanish Rice recipe yet? I would love to make them both!

  4. These are in the oven right now. I did half corn and half flour tortillas. I did the chicken in the crock pot. I couldn’t keep my kids out of the chicken! Hopefully they like the finished product

  5. I made these tonight and they were a little dry for my taste. I will try a previous commenter’s idea of extra salsa/ranch mixture to pour over the top, because they had a very good flavor, my family liked them, and were so easy. I also cooked extra chicken in the crockpot which I plan to use for ranch chicken wraps for lunch. Thanks for the great recipe. Definitely a keeper.

  6. Hello!
    Quick question, since I only cook for myself I want to cut this recipe in half.
    Would you recommend a shorter cooking time if I use a smaller pan to make less enchiladas?

  7. I’m thinking of making this tonight but making it “lasagna style” by layering corn tortillas on the bottom of the pan, then meat and sauce and repeating the layers. Might be the easier way to use corn tortillas without worrying about them falling apart as I have 1 gluten free person to accommodate in our family!

  8. Ooooh my goodness. I made these with both flour and corn for me and let me tell you; this was the best gluten free food I have had since going gluten free in June! My family loved it just as much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Delicious!!

  9. Found on Pinterest. First time ever making enchiladas but it was a success! I used medium soft taco flour tortillas so I ended up with 8 servings. Used cheese I had on hand so Colby jack went inside the enchiladas and a mixture of mozzarella and mild cheddar was sprinkled on top. Didn’t have time to cook and shred the chicken in the crockpot which I fully intended to do so I just boiled my chicken breasts in the chicken broth with the taco and ranch seasonings. The chicken alone was to die for! Would be great just for chicken tacos. Anyway, the enchiladas were great. I loved the addition of the ranch dressing.

  10. They look sooo amazing, do you have a recipe for the rice? I’ve been looking for a good Spanish Rice recipe and it looks delicious!!!
