Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
Tortilla Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas
White Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add shredded chicken, green chiles, and spices, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and a bit of cheese. This creamy mixture will serve as the base for your enchiladas and give them that irresistible flavor.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Spread a layer of the creamy sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the remaining sour cream sauce over the assembled enchiladas, making sure to cover them generously. Sprinkle any leftover cheese on top for a melty finish.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the enchiladas for about 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor.
- Warm tortillas briefly before filling to make them pliable.
- Don’t overfill to avoid messy enchiladas.
- Cover with foil if the tops brown too quickly.
- Let them rest for a few minutes after baking for easier serving.
