Ingredients

• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 can (4 oz) Green chiles, diced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the diced green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of shredded cheese and the cooked onion-chile mixture. Mix well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Take a flour tortilla and place about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the center. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 7

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly to cover completely.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve with sour cream on the side.
