Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 810 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Jalapeños, black beans, bell peppers
  • Garnishes: Chopped cilantro, sour cream, sliced avocado

  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-combined.
  • Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
  • Take one tortilla, add a portion of the chicken mixture down the center, then roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas and sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, and avocado.
