Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie or homemade
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 4 oz can green chiles, mild or hot depending on preference
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt and pepper each
  • 1 20 oz can green chile enchilada sauce
  • 12 –14 small corn tortillas
  • Nonstick cooking spray for coating the baking dish

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar, green chiles, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly combined and creamy.
Step 3: Warm the Sauce
  1. Pour the enchilada sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Keep warm.
Step 4: Assemble the Enchiladas
  1. Dip each tortilla quickly into the warm enchilada sauce to soften. Then, spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 5: Add Sauce and Cheese
  1. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, making sure they are fully covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 6: Bake and Serve
  1. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in spots. Let cool slightly before serving.
