Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1.5 cups Green enchilada sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, then roll them tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and green enchilada sauce until smooth.
Pour the sour cream and enchilada sauce mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 1.5 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm!
