Description

A flavorful and comforting dish featuring shredded chicken, green chile sauce, and melted cheese wrapped in soft corn tortillas and baked to perfection.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups green chile enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup diced green chiles (canned or roasted)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add shredded chicken and diced green chiles to the skillet. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  4. In a bowl, mix green chile enchilada sauce with sour cream until well combined.
  5. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  6. Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and a small amount of both cheeses. Roll up and place seam-side down in the dish.
  8. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Add jalapeños for extra spice.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
