Ingredients

1 lbs Chicken thighs
2 tbsp Taco seasoning
8-10 Flour taco tortillas
16 oz Red chile enchilada sauce
8 oz Shredded cheese Mexican blend

Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken thighs with your choice of taco seasoning.
Heat up the grill to 450 degrees and set it up for direct heat. Place the chicken thighs directly onto the grates and grill for a total of 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature of the meat is 175 degrees.
Once the chicken is off the grill and has rested, chop it up into very small pieces
In a mixing bowl, mix together the chopped chicken, 1/2 of the shredded cheese and the enchilada sauce.
Using flour taco sized tortillas, add a spoonful of the grilled chicken filling and roll it up.
Place each piece into a cast iron skillet or foil pan until you fill up the entire dish-ware. If you have extra filling, pour that over the the enchiladas.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolls and generously cover with the rest of the shredded cheese.
Place it all back on the grill for another 5-10minutes allowing the cheese to melt.
