Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-7 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 1-14 ounce can green chile enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 3 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 10 corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • In a small skillet heat olive oil on medium heat and add onions. Cook 3-5 minutes then add garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl whisk 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 1/4 cup sour cream until combined. Mix in chicken, onions, garlic, cream cheese, chiles, cumin, salt, pepper and 1 1/2 cups pepper jack cheese.
  • In a small bowl add the remaining enchilada sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup sour cream and whisk until combined.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place a few corn tortillas on a microwave safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat 30-45 seconds to steam.
  • Then add about 1/2 cup chicken mixture to each tortilla, roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until they are done. Pour the enchilada sauce mixture over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top
  • Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • *Soft flour tortillas can be used instead of corn. No need to pre-cook flour tortillas prior to assembling the enchiladas.
