Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

I made these tonight and they were oh, so good!  I recommend these to anyone who likes buffalo wing sauce as much as I do!  Mmm, we'll definitely be making these more often!
Time: About 40 min
Enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
14 ounce can red enchilada sauce
1/3 cup [I used about 3/4 c, but I like spicy!!] buffalo wing sauce [I use Frank's]
5 chopped green onions, divided
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese [I personally don't like bleu cheese, so I used a lot less]
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray an 8x8 glass dish with non-stick spray.

In a medium bowl, mix together enchilada sauce and slowly mix in buffalo wing sauce... stopping to taste and adjust as you go.  I used about 3/4 cup wing sauce, but we like it spicy! Use as little, or as much as you like.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, toss together shredded chicken, half of the green onions, and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.  Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce mixture and stir until combined.

Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the prepared glass baking dish and spread mixture to the edges.  Working with one tortilla at at time, fill with 1/4 of the chicken mixture.  Roll the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the dish.  Once all tortillas are filled, pour the remaining enchilada/buffalo sauce on top of tortillas and add the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce its bubbling. Immediately after taking enchiladas out of the oven, top with gorgonzola cheese, cilantro, and the remaining onions.

Serve immediately!

[Store any remaining sauce in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, and use if reheating leftover enchiladas.]
