Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked and shredded chicken
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 4 oz Green chilies, diced
- 8 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 1.5 cups Canned red enchilada sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or non-stick spray
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the cream cheese over medium-low heat until softened. Stir in the diced green chilies and shredded chicken. Mix well, ensuring the ingredients are evenly combined and warm.
Step 3
Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Step 4
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
Step 5
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each one is generously coated. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican-blend cheese evenly over the top.
Step 6
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Steph's Chicken Enchiladas!
