Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
• 8 large Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 4-ounce can Green chilies, diced
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, diced green chilies, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Take one flour tortilla and add about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture in a line down the center. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the filling. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Once all the enchiladas are snugly arranged in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top, ensuring all the tortillas are covered.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the sauce-covered enchiladas.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or additional toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
