  • 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce (red or green)

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.
