Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded rotisserie chicken
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 4 oz can Green chiles, diced
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 1 tbsp Butter, for greasing
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, diced green chiles, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix until the filling is well combined and creamy.

Step 3

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easy to roll.

Step 5

Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling onto the center of each tortilla, then roll it tightly. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down into the baking dish.

Step 6

Once all the tortillas are rolled and arranged in the dish, pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Ensure all the tortillas are coated for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the enchiladas.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy the rich, cheesy goodness!
