Ingredients
Scale
For the Enchiladas:
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
- Chopped fresh cilantro and diced red onion for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1 cup shredded cheese, sour cream, diced green chiles, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
- Fill and roll: Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add sauce and bake: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top, sprinkle with additional cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Rest and serve: Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and diced red onion if desired.
Notes
- To keep corn tortillas from cracking, warm them before filling or lightly fry each one in a bit of oil.
- Add black beans or corn to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
