Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked and shredded chicken
- 10.5 oz Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 oz Diced green chiles
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 10 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green chiles, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.
Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese into the chicken mixture.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish, spread any remaining chicken mixture over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden.
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, before serving.
