1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the baking dish
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 pound grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 cups)
2 cups mild red enchilada sauce
3/4 cup hot sauce, preferably Frank's Red Hot
Eight 10-inch flour tortillas
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Add the chicken and 2 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese to a large bowl and toss together. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter, enchilada sauce and hot sauce and in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from the heat. Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to the bowl with the chicken. Toss to fully coat.
  • Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture evenly onto a tortilla, then roll it up. If you'd like, trim the round ends of the tortilla that are unfilled and reserve for another use. Cut the rolled tortilla into 6 pinwheels. Place each pinwheel cut-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the lettuce with the ranch dressing in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles on top of the enchiladas. Serve immediately with the salad.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, chives, parsley, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
