🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 3 cups Cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 can (4 oz) Canned diced green chilies
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0.25 cup Sliced green onions (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, canned diced green chilies, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Stir to combine and heat the mixture for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Spread about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

4. Take a flour tortilla and spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture down the center. Top with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.

5. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.

6. Once all the tortillas are rolled and placed in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top, making sure to cover all the tortillas.

7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

10. Garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
