Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 10-12 corn tortillas (soft, about 6-inch size)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade, mildly spiced)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    • Instructions

  • Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) so it is ready when your enchiladas are assembled.
  • In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, sour cream, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Heat vegetable oil lightly in a skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side until soft and flexible to prevent cracking when rolling. Drain on paper towels.
  • Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, coating well. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles and enchiladas are heated through.
  • Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving to set filling. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with sour cream or salsa.
