🍴 Ingredients

For the Enchiladas:

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles (optional for a little kick)
  • 8 flour tortillas (or corn tortillas)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, sour cream, half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Enchiladas:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla.
Roll up and place seam-side down in the dish.

Top and Bake:

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle the rest of the cheeses on top.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly.


✨ To Serve:
