Baked Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

★Ingredients

For the filling:

1 cup sour cream

1 cup salsa

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For the enchiladas:

8 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup enchilada sauce

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

★Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  1. Prepare the Filling:
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  1. Assemble the Enchiladas:
  • Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and place about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture down the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  1. Add Sauce and Cheese:
  • Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded cheese over the top.
  1. Bake:
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  1. Garnish and Serve:
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Enjoy!
