Description

A cheesy, comforting bake that’s quick to assemble and perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 8–10 (8-inch) flour tortillas


Instructions

  1. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 10–20 seconds per side.
  2. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, sour cream, half the cheese, onion, garlic, and seasoning.
  3. Spoon about 1/3 cup filling into each tortilla, roll, and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly; broil on high for 1–2 minutes if desired.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing. Use a mix of cheeses for better flavor and texture.
