Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked and shredded chicken
• 10.5 oz Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 4 oz Diced green chiles
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 10 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green chiles, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 3

Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese into the chicken mixture.

Step 4

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish, spread any remaining chicken mixture over the top.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the enchiladas.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, before serving.
