Ingredients
To make these yummy enchiladas, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (10 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooked shredded chicken, diced green chilies, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and half of the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Briefly fry the corn tortillas for about 10 seconds on each side until slightly soft. This will make them easier to roll.
- Take a tortilla and add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture, then roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
- Once all the enchiladas are arranged in the dish, pour any remaining chicken mixture over the top. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas!
