Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 8 medium Flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese, diced green chiles, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring the tortillas are fully covered to prevent them from drying out.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese evenly 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 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sassy Chicken Enchiladas with a side of rice, beans, or a fresh salad!
