Delightful rolled tortillas filled with shredded chicken, cheese, and sour cream, smothered in zesty green enchilada sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Mix together the shredded chicken, sour cream, and half of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  5. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  6. Pour the green enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  7. Top with the remaining cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt. Let enchiladas cool before storing, keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.
