Description

Delightful enchiladas filled with shredded chicken, cream cheese, and zesty green chilis, topped with a rich enchilada sauce.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can diced green chilis
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, cilantro


Instructions

  1. Mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, green chilis, and half of the enchilada sauce in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
  3. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until heated through and cheese has melted.
  6. Serve warm with toppings like sour cream, green onions, and cilantro.

Notes

Warm tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to make rolling easier. Feel free to customize with extra ingredients like black beans or different cheeses.
