Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 small flour tortillas
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional, for a thinner sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Make the Filling: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Assemble the Enchiladas: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Prepare the Sauce: Pour enchilada sauce over the tortillas, ensuring even coverage. If you prefer a thinner sauce, mix in chicken broth before pouring.
  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use corn tortillas for a more traditional taste. Warm them slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.
  • Swap chicken for ground beef, beans, or veggies for different variations.
