Delicious Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup green chili sauce (preferably mild or medium)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 8 pieces corn tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    This ensures even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas

    Lightly warm the corn tortillas in a pan to make them pliable.

    Avoid cracking while rolling.
  3. Fill the Tortillas

    Spoon shredded chicken and green chili sauce onto each tortilla.

    Don't overfill to prevent spilling.
  4. Roll and Place

    Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

    Use olive oil to grease the dish.
  5. Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour remaining green chili sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

    More cheese for a cheesier result.
  6. Bake

    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.

    This helps melt the cheese.
  7. Serve

    Let cool slightly, then serve with sour cream if desired.

    Garnish with cilantro for added flavor.
