Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
Dairy and Cheese:
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
Remaining Ingredients:
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 can (10.5 ounces/298 grams) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (4 ounces/113 grams) diced green chiles
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and green chiles in a large mixing bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Take each tortilla and place approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture in the center, adding a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Carefully roll the tortillas tightly, ensuring the filling remains secure, and position them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- After arranging all tortillas, distribute any remaining chicken mixture evenly across the top of the rolled enchiladas.
- Generously cover the entire dish with the remaining shredded cheese, creating a complete cheese layer.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese transforms into a golden, bubbling surface.
- Remove from the oven and allow the enchiladas to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
- Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro to add a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner protein option and easier shredding after cooking.
- Swap regular tortillas with low-carb or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs.
- Add extra flavor by quickly sautéing the chicken with cumin and garlic powder before mixing with other ingredients.
- For a spicier version, mix in diced jalapeños or use hot green chiles instead of mild ones.
