A little bit sweet, a little bit smokey. These Chipotle Raspberry Chicken Enchiladas are a fresh take on your typical Tex Mex fare. Served with your favorite toppings, you’ll have dinner on the table in less time than it would take to order enchiladas at your favorite restaurant.
I don’t have a tried and true enchilada recipe. Wait. Strike that. I do now but I didn’t before. And these aren’t any ‘ol enchiladas, these are a bit sweet, a bit smokey and a whole lot of delicious!
My key ingredient? The one that makes this Tex-Mex main dish come together in no time? Robert Rothschild Farms’ Raspberry Salsa. A key component to the enchilada filling and used as a replacement for enchilada sauce, it lends it’s sweet, tangy flavor easily to this dish truly making it one of a kind.
You can easily make a whole pan of enchiladas in the time it would take you to be served at your favorite restaurant!
And what would an enchilada be without a little heat? Or in this case, without a little smokey flavor? I’ve added not only a couple of minced chipotle peppers but some adobo sauce as well. The result? Sweet and smokey and absolutely out of this world!
If you’re not a fan of heat, never fear! All three of my children ate these without any complaints or talk about anything being spicy. And believe me, if she would’ve thought there was one minute chance of these being hot, my five year old would’ve balked at the thought. She doesn’t do spice.
