Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce
- 12 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10 seconds per side to soften them. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, diced green chiles, salt, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Take one tortilla and fill it with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll it tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each one is covered.
Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly across the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Before serving, garnish with sour cream, cilantro, and green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Santa Fe Enchiladas!
