Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 can (4 oz) Green chilies, diced
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 medium (about 1 cup) Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 for serving Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir in the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and well-seasoned. Remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and diced green chilies. Stir until well blended and creamy.
Spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce mixture (about 1/2 cup) in the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking.
Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Place a portion of the shredded chicken mixture (about 1/3 cup) down the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with a small handful of shredded Cheddar cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Once all the enchiladas are rolled and arranged in the baking dish, pour the remaining creamy sauce evenly over the top, ensuring all the tortillas are well-coated.
Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese and the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the sauce-covered enchiladas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh garnish.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
