Adults and kids alike will love these authentic spicy, cheesy chicken enchiladas. Here we grill both the chicken and onion directly on the grill grate to add a smoky depth of flavor to the dish. These are then combined with the rest of the savory ingredients, rolled into tortillas, topped with enchilada sauce and cheese, and allowed to grill in a cast iron skillet until perfectly bubbly and amazing. Nothing says comfort food like these easy chicken enchiladas made in a skillet on the grill.
