Store-bought shortcuts like rotisserie chicken and salsa verde mean you can have cheesy, warm enchiladas faster, and the air fryer cuts the bake time for our traditional salsa verde enchiladas down from 20 to just 6 minutes. If you like things spicy, top the finished pie with sliced fresh jalapeños or serrano chiles.

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 cup store-bought salsa verde
3/4 cup sour cream
2 bunches fresh cilantro (about 4 cups, including stems), plus more for sprinkling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
2 scallions, thinly sliced

3. Step 3Place 1 tortilla quarter on top of sauce in each ramekin. Top with 1/3 cup chicken mixture and 1 more tortilla quarter. Repeat with another 1/3 cup chicken mixture and 1 more tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese.
