Well? These Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are definitely warm and cozy and definitely quick to put together. Soooo…. I’m thinking these enchiladas will be making quite a few appearances this fall/winter season.

The thing I love most about enchiladas is how versatile they are (these salsa verde enchiladas are pretty darn tasty, too). Beef vs. chicken vs. vegetarian. Green enchilada sauce vs. red enchilada sauce. Ultra creamy vs. lightened up. The choice is yours!

Today, however, I think I’ve made the enchiladas of all enchiladas. These Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are stuffed with roasted chicken and sweet potatoes, black beans, a super flavorful enchilada-y type sauce, and gobs of goat cheese.

Yep! You heard me. Goat. Cheese. <– winner

So you’re probably thinking. Goat cheese? In an enchilada? Reeeeally, Jennifer?

Yesssss! I’m telling you, goat cheese was made to be stuffed into an enchilada. Honestly, I could probably put goat cheese on just about anything and call it the best dish ever, buuuuut I promise you’re going to extra love the goat cheese in these enchiladas.

But first, let’s talk about those roasted chicken and sweet potatoes.

Since it IS officially fall, it’s only appropriate that I start incorporating all things pumpkin, maple, apple, sweet potato into #alltherecipes. Kidding. Kidding….um, kind of? I dooo have some really great pumpkin, apple, etc. recipes coming up that you’re going to flip for!

And sweet potatoes, to me, scream fall, so I just couldn’t resist sneaking a few into these enchiladas and letmetellyou…it works.

Cube some sweet potatoes and place them on a baking sheet with some fresh chicken breasts. Toss them in a little olive oil and salt and let ’em roast to sweet perfection. The chicken gets all juicy and yummy and the sweet potatoes get wonderfully fork tender.

After the chicken and sweet potatoes are cooked they get combined with that tangy, yummy, goat cheese, black beans, Stubb’s Green Chile Anytime Sauce (more on that in a sec), aaaaaand more cheese.

Then the filling gets stuffed into flour torillas, and smothered in more Stubb’s sauce that’s been mixed with a little greek yogurt, and topped with, yes, more cheese.

Cheese? Chicken? Sweet potatoes? Cheese?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Aaaaand Yes.

Let’s rewind for a second though and talk about that Stubb’s Green Chile Anytime Sauce.

You guys, it’s good.

It’s taking the place of an enchilada sauce today. If you can’t find Stubb’s Green Chile Anytime Sauce, feel free to use a green chile enchilada sauce, but you’ll definitely be missing out on some really amazing flavors and may need to do a little extra seasoning (totally ok!). I don’t know how they do it, but the anytime sauce is perfectly seasoned, a little smokey, a little spicy, has great green chile flavor, and is just plain tasty!

We’re using it both inside the green chile chicken enchiladas and on the outside as a creamy sauce.

After the enchiladas have been stuffed, smothered, and totally chees-ified all that’s left to do is bake them for about 20 minutes until they’re hot and gooey!

Then top ’em off with your toppings of choice – we ♡ plenty of fresh cilantro – this one, is not optional 😉 , fresh tomatoes, and avocado.

You’ll take your first bite and it’ll be so creamy, tangy, cheesy, a little sweet from the sweet potatoes, all wrapped in a fluffy flour tortilla that you just won’t be able to help yourself and go back for seconds…and thirds. 😉

Serve these up with a side of rice and a margarita and you’ve got yourself one heckofa dinner.

Fall flavors with a little Mexican flare.

Yes. Please.
