Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 8 Flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce (red or green)
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0 to taste Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced green chiles, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
Step 3
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Step 4
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring that they are fully covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top.
Step 5
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 6
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side, and enjoy!
