Description

Delicious and creamy white chicken enchiladas that bring back the joys of family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups creamy sauce (like sour cream or a creamy soup)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 can enchilada sauce
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed onion, and half of the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a griddle to make them pliable.
  4. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  5. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top and drizzle with the remaining creamy sauce.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with seasonings and cheese types for added flavor. Garnishing with cilantro or a dollop of sour cream enhances presentation.
