Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 10 pieces Flour tortillas
- 3 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles
- 1 tablespoon Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium-sized pot over low heat, add cream cheese, sour cream, diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese. Add half of the creamy mixture to the chicken and mix well.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring all are well-covered. Spread the remaining creamy mixture on top of the enchilada sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend 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 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your deluxe chicken enchiladas!
