How do you make gluten-free enchiladas?

This recipe is naturally gluten-free as written; however, always check all ingredients before using to avoid any cross-contamination. This recipe uses corn tortillas that are already gluten-free.

What tortillas should you use for smoked enchiladas?

Traditionally corn tortillas are used and they are used in this recipe. When using corn tortillas they do need to be heated in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or on medium heat on the stovetop to make them more pliable before using.

If you prefer and gluten-free is not a need, feel free to use flour as well. They will work similarly to corn but will not need to be heated before rolling them up.

Tips for Making Pellet Grill Smoked Enchiladas:

• Use a disposable aluminum pan – It’s best to make these in a grill-safe disposable aluminum pan. A 9×13 pan will work or we use this 11.75in x 11.25in pan from Walmart. The amount of tortillas that fit in the pan will vary based on the size used.
• Choose the right pellets – We used hickory for this recipe, these will give a bold, smoky flavor. If you prefer a sweeter flavor use cherry or apple.
• Add in your preferred fillings – Other fillings can be added to the tortillas such as corn or other vegetables. Ground beef can be used in place of the chicken or leftover chicken can be used and the grilled chicken step can be skipped.
• Always warm up the corn tortillas – Prevent thetearing of corn tortillas by warming them up first to make them pliable before adding the filling.

• Choose the right cheese – It’s best to use a block of cheese and shred it with a cheese grater so that it melts properly. The pre-shredded cheese has additives to prevent melting.

Follow the recipe card below closely as there are multiple steps to this recipe when it comes to grilling the chicken first.

How do you store leftover enchiladas?

Once fully cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 2-3 minutes.

Pellet Grill Smoked Enchiladas are a great, easy meal to feed the whole family. The enchiladas are filled with smoky flavor, melted cheese, and tender chicken. They pair wonderfully with rice and beans.
