Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, 1/2 cup of the canned enchilada sauce, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each flour tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Top the enchiladas with a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
