Savory Delicious Pumpkin Chicken Enchiladas


Gooey and delicious pumpkin chicken enchiladas. You will love the combination of caramelized pumpkin and shredded chicken enchiladas, covered in bubbling cheese. A perfect fall casserole. Just pop it in the oven for a hearty meal!

I want to make pumpkin recipes every single day this time of the year. I have created quite a few recipes using pumpkin puree, but when I saw the cute baking pumpkins at the grocery store I thought maybe I could chop a little pumpkin up and sautee the pumpkin pieces for a recipe. And since Mexican food is my fave – I thought it would be fun to experiment making sauteed pumpkin enchiladas!

I think the savory side of pumpkin gets overlooked for all of the sweet pumpkin recipes, so I was very excited to make these Pumpkin Chicken Enchiladas!

    PUMPKIN enchiladas?! Oh my gosh. These sound amazing. I’m totally over “pumpkin spice” at this point, but not pumpkin in general. I’m going to give these a try this week. Thank you for the recipe!
