Ready within 40 minutes, these gluten-free chicken enchiladas are simple to prepare, because they use rotisserie chicken, cutting down on the casserole cooking time. The filling has cooked down onion and green chilis too, to add a little kick of flavor, but they’re still mild enough for kids. Weeknight dinner win!

If you’re having an internal struggle with what to make for dinner, then this dish is going to come to the rescue. It’s easy, it’s cheesy, and it aims to please.
Going gluten-free can be difficult. I’ve been gluten-free since 2015 and while there have definitely been ups and downs, I’ve gotten really good at making easy gluten-free dinner recipes that taste amazing. And this meal is 100 percent one of those.
So whether you’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo or just want a comforting casserole, these enchiladas are on point.
There are several recipes online that look good, but if it requires making your own sauce, I just don’t have the time some nights. If that’s you too, then this recipe is definitely for you. The Frontera Mild Enchilada Sauce is a favorite in our house, and what I used in this recipe. If you have a different favorite sauce that’s gluten free you can use that too.
Now let’s get on to the important part – the recipe.
How to make the enchilada filling
First you’ll dice the onion. If you have kids that will be eating this that aren’t into onions, I would mince them or even use a food processor to get them into a fine cut.

I really like the Frontera enchilada sauces that come in a pouch, but any gluten free enchilada sauce will work!

I used a Mojo rotisserie chicken, Siete Almond Flour Tortillas & green chile enchilada sauce and they turned out great!
