Ranch Chicken Enchiladas are flour tortillas wrapped around a shredded taco chicken center that is covered in cheese and a salsa-ranch mixture. These enchiladas are always on our monthly dinner rotation because my family loves them!
My family and I are all big ranch fans. We dip just about anything and everything into ranch dressing. You name it, we’ve dipped it. So it’s no surprise that these Chicken Ranch Enchiladas became a family favorite here in the Lofthouse casa. They are so warm and cheesy and filled with all the Mexican flavors you love.
Ranch Chicken Enchiladas are flour tortillas wrapped around a cheesy shredded taco chicken center that is covered in a salsa-ranch mixture. They make the perfect dish for any family dinner or occasion. Accompanied by Mexican Rice, Cilantro Lime Rice, or a Warm Bean Dip, you can be sure you’ll have one unforgettable meal! 🙂
If you have followed the blog for a bit, then you know what a die-hard Mexican food fan I am. Whenever Kale asks me where I want to eat when we go out, I always reply with one of our local Mexican food restaurants. It’s a true story. I can never seem to get enough of those delicious flavors. So it’s only understandable that I love to create delicious Mexican dishes from the comfort of my own home.
I would say these enchiladas are more on the Tex-Mex side rather than the Mexican, but they’re still just as tasty and so simple to make. It’s a dish that your whole family will adore, even those family members that are a little difficult to please! 😉

I can’t wait to try these! I do plan on making them a bit healthier, though. Using wheat tortillas and my own homemade ranch made with Greek yogurt. They should be a hit!
That sounds delicious!!
Made these tonight but with shredded pork instead of chicken (that’s what I needed to use 🙂 ) They were awesome! 2 of 3 kids devoured them and the 3rd will when I make them with chicken….she took one look at the pork and decided she didn’t like it. But these will definitely have a reoccurring place in my menu. Thanks!

Yes, absolutely! After shredding up some of the meat I would mix it with some taco seasoning and a tiny bit of chicken broth for flavor. 🙂

Hi Amie, I use a ranch dressing called Wild Coyote. It’s made locally here in Southern Utah. My best advice is to use your favorite ranch dressing! 🙂
This recipe was delicious. My husband and i both enjoyed them.
I usually am not a big fan of enchiladas but these were great. They were also easy to make.
