Description

Creamy and flavorful enchiladas filled with shredded chicken and cream cheese, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, cilantro, jalapeños


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, diced onions, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve warm with optional toppings.

Notes

For added spice, consider incorporating diced jalapeños into the filling. These enchiladas freeze well when assembled but not yet baked.
