Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Shredded Chicken
- 2 Fresh jalapenos
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
- 10 Corn tortillas or flour tortillas
- 2 cups Enchilada Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped jalapenos (remove seeds for less heat), softened cream cheese, and half of your cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Take a tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour your enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes. Top with chopped green onions or cilantro and serve with your favorite sides like sour cream or guacamole.
Notes
- Remove jalapeno seeds for less heat.
- Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
