Description

These creamy and cheesy chicken enchiladas are a comforting dish that’s perfect for a family dinner. Made with tender shredded chicken, a rich sour cream sauce, and a blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 10 flour tortillas
  • 16 ounces sour cream
  • 10.5 ounces cold cream of chicken soup
  • 4 ounces canned diced green chiles
  • 5 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If needed, soften the tortillas in the microwave or by lightly warming them in a skillet to make them easier to roll.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and diced green chiles. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fill Tortillas: Spread about 1/4 cup of the sauce mixture onto each tortilla. Add a portion of shredded chicken and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the enchiladas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
