Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ½ cup sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced green chilies, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- To assemble the enchiladas, take a tortilla and place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all enchiladas are placed in the dish, spread the remaining sour cream on top. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
