Description
Tender shredded chicken wrapped in soft tortillas, topped with a creamy sour cream and green chile sauce, then baked with melty cheese until golden and bubbly—perfect for a quick, comforting Tex-Mex meal.
Ingredients
10 flour tortillas (8-inch)
5 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, divided
16 oz sour cream
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, undrained
2–4 tbsp milk or chicken broth (as needed to loosen sauce)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and green chiles. Add milk or broth to loosen if too thick. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Warm tortillas so they roll easily without cracking.
Mix shredded chicken with 1 cup cheese and a few spoonfuls of sauce to moisten.
Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
Pour remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and melted. Broil 1–2 minutes for golden top if desired.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas for a more traditional texture—dip briefly in warm sauce to prevent cracking.
- Add spinach, sautéed onions, or roasted poblanos to the filling for more veggies.
- Use light sour cream and part-skim cheese for a lighter version.
- Whisk in salsa verde for extra tang and flavor.
- To make without canned soup, prepare a roux with butter and flour, add chicken broth, then stir in sour cream and green chiles.
