Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- Juice and zest of 1 orange
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Salmon:
- 1½ pounds salmon fillet, skin on
- Fresh lemon slices and herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cook your chicken breasts by boiling or roasting them. Once done, cool slightly, then shred with two forks to keep them juicy.
- Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 1 cup salsa, and seasonings. Mix well for even coating and aromatic spices.
- Warm the tortillas: To prevent cracking, microwave or skillet-heat tortillas briefly until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Spread two tablespoons of chicken mixture on each tortilla. Roll tightly, seam side down in a dish.
- Prepare the top layer: Pour enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas. Cover with shredded cheese for a gooey topping.
- Bake the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake covered for 15 minutes, then uncover for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Garnish and serve: Top with cilantro, cool slightly, then serve with a fresh salad or rice.
