Shortcut Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Combine sauce, broth, seasonings, salt & pepper in medium saucepan. Cook on medium heat 3-4 min. or until heated through.
  2. Combine chicken, onions, 1 cup shredded cheese, queso fresco, ½ cup cilantro and ¼ cup sauce mixture in large bowl. Spray both sides of tortillas with 100% oil cooking spray. Stack tortillas and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH 60-90 seconds or until warm and pliable.
  3. Fill each tortilla with ¼ cup chicken mixture. Roll up; place seam-side down in greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Pour remaining sauce mixture over enchiladas. Cover tightly with foil.
  4. Bake 25 min. or until heated through. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese and bake 5 min. or until melted. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with sour cream.
Recipe Notes

Use an electric pressure cooker:

Using RAGÚ® Pasta Sauce to create a “speed-scratch” enchilada sauce, quickly warming oiled tortillas in the microwave, plus convenient rotisserie chicken gets dinner on the table quickly.

Use 1 jar (45 ounces) RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce to make one pan of enchiladas to enjoy now and one to freeze for a future meal. Prepare as directed, doubling all other ingredients and using two 13x9-inch baking dishes. Cover pan tightly with plastic wrap before freezing. When ready to bake, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, remove plastic wrap, cover with foil, and bake 35-40 min. or until hot.

Instructions
  1. Prepare ravioli as directed on package. Drain, return to pot and keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, place cauliflower and water in medium microwaveable bowl. Cover. Microwave on HIGH 5-6 min. or until soft. Transfer cauliflower, any remaining water, oil and sauce to blender. Blend until smooth. Add basil; blend until combined.
  3. Combine sauce mixture and ravioli in pot. Toss gently and sprinkle with additional small basil leaves.
Recipe Notes

Riced cauliflower is often available in both the fresh produce and frozen sections of the grocery store.

The cauliflower gives this sauce a dairy-like flavor and texture without adding heavy cream. For a completely dairy-free dish, serve this sauce with dry pasta such as penne or fettuccine.
