Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 4 oz can Diced green chiles
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 12 Flour tortillas (medium-sized)
• 2 cups Green enchilada sauce
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking immediately, or skip this step if preparing for freezing.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, diced green chiles, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 4

Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto one side of a tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Once all the enchiladas are assembled, pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the top, making sure all the tortillas are covered.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the enchiladas.

Step 7

If baking immediately, cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

If freezing for later, wrap the assembled (but unbaked) dish tightly with plastic wrap and then with aluminum foil. Label the dish and freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 9

When ready to bake from frozen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the plastic wrap and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
