Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 16 ounces green chile enchilada sauce, divided I recommend the Frontera brand
  • 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided or white sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 small can diced green chiles
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup homemade version here
  • 8 medium-sized tortillas flour or corn
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 1 cup cheese, green chiles, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and about 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
  • Microwave tortillas for about 30 seconds so that they'll be easier to roll up.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among 8 medium-sized tortillas, and roll up. Place the tortillas in a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish, seam side down.
  • Top with remaining enchilada sauce, then cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 
  • Sprinkle enchiladas with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
