Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Lay one tortilla flat and spoon 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture along the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring all are coated.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Speedy Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas!
