Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
• 10 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch size)
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 can Diced green chilies (canned)
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 3

Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the red enchilada sauce and heavy cream until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro and optional green onions on top for garnish.

Step 8

Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
