Description

A comforting dish combining tender chicken, creamy sauce, and gooey cheese, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8-10 flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like Monterey Jack or cheddar)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon green chili peppers (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and green chili peppers. Mix well until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, place about half of the shredded cheese.
  4. Take a tortilla and fill it with a generous scoop of the chicken mixture. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  5. Once all enchiladas are in the dish, spread any remaining creamy mixture on top. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.

Notes

For an extra layer of creaminess, adjust the sour cream and soup ratio to your liking. Serve with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh salad.
