Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 8 Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup of red enchilada sauce, sour cream, and diced green chiles if using. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Lay a tortilla flat, add about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture down the center, sprinkle with a little cheese, and roll tightly. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 5
Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Step 6
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
