Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 can (4 oz) Diced green chilies (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of enchilada sauce, half of the shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced green chilies (if using). Mix until thoroughly combined.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
