Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 15 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 8 ounces Canned tomato sauce
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from the heat and blend the sauce with an immersion blender (or in a regular blender) until smooth. Stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Quickly warm each corn tortilla for about 10 seconds per side to make them pliable.

Step 6

Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken (about 2 tablespoons each) and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 8

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar and all of the Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 9

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 10

Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with a dollop of sour cream and additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
