Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Green tomatillo salsa
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
• 0.5 cup Diced onion
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the tomatillo salsa and sour cream until smooth. Reserve 1 cup of this sauce for later.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas one at a time in the skillet for about 10-15 seconds per side to make them pliable.

Step 5

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll it up tightly. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Pour the remaining tomatillo-sour cream sauce evenly over the enchiladas, ensuring all are covered.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the sauce.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
