Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 8 pieces flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups green enchilada sauce
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Place a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the tuna mixture down the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish, pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over them, ensuring they are fully covered.
Dollop sour cream over the sauce in small spoonfuls, and then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the Tunachiladas are baking, chop the green onions and cilantro for garnish.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
Serve warm with additional sour cream or a side of guacamole, if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Tunachiladas!
