Cheese Enchiladas with Chuy’s Boom Boom Sauce
My family loves us some Chuys!! Anytime we are in the Austin area this is one of our top 5 places to grab some grub!! Everything is made in house and fresh so what’s not to like about that… plussss their mexican martinis are on point!
My favorite entree is the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas. They are seriously the best enchiladas I’ve ever had! {Minus the glorified Rosita’s that has since closed down… it was a family-owned restaurant in my hometown that I miss dearly!} But Chuy’s is now my new enchilada spot from here on out! These boom boom enchiladas are spicy and cheesy and ohhhh so satisfying.
I came across the actual Chicka Chicka boom boom enchilada recipe from chuy’s online and decided to give it a try at home. I’ve made it 3 times now and I feel like I’ve got it pretty darn close to the real deal. My best friend has deemed it her new favorite dish to eat at my house!
I have made these enchiladas with chicken and cheese and I think both are equally delicious! For the shredded chicken version nix the Mexican cheese and only use 1 1/4 lb of the American cheese listed in the recipe. Grab an original rotisserie chicken from the grocery store (no seasonings just a good ole original). Shred the chicken and fill the corn tortillas instead of the mixed cheese as I described below .
You can find the original chicka chicka boom boom recipe over at Carolina Living but I’ve tweaked it bit to make it easier!
This is a great meal for entertaining… whip up a batch of margaritas and pop these bad boys in the oven for a fool proof fiesta!!
Hope you enjoy this recipe!
