Enchiladas are one of my favorite comfort meals! However rolling up each individual enchilada isn’t exactly my idea of a good time. I wanted to pack my freezer with cozy meals that are easy to heat up for postpartum, and this veggie-packed skillet was one of the first things that came to mind. It comes together super quickly and freezes beautifully.


Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are golden brown and charred in some spots, about 7 minutes. Add the zucchini, seasonings, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for 3 more minutes.

Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, beans, diced green chiles (with their liquid), green and enchilada sauce.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Turn off the heat. Stir in the sour cream, then gently stir in the sliced tortilla strips.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired and dive in!
Freezing instructions: After step 3, let the skillet cool to room temperature. Transfer the enchilada mixture to an airtight container, then place in the freezer.Â
Reheating from Frozen Instructions:
Skillet: Place the frozen enchilada mixture in a large skillet over low heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thawed and hot, about 20–25 minutes. Add a splash of chicken broth or water if it starts to dry out.
Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer the frozen enchilada mixture to an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until heated through. For a bubbly, melty top, remove the foil for the last 5–10 minutes.
Microwave: Place the frozen enchilada mixture in a microwave-safe dish. Cover loosely with a lid or damp paper towel. Microwave on the defrost setting for 5–8 minutes, stirring halfway, then heat on high in 1-minute intervals until hot.
If you are sensitive to spice, use half the enchilada sauce and ½ cup water for a mild version.
Unreal good and super easy to make. Instead of rotisserie chicken i put two chicken breasts in the crock pot then shredded and added! Delicious and will be making again
Yum! Delicious and so much easier/faster than making actual enchiladas
Made this tonight and tasted it before freezing…sooo good! This might be a stupid question but can I defrost it first and then microwave it? Using this as a quick grab for lunch
This was so easy and so delicious!! Will be in the file of making again!
My husband said it’s a keeper!
