These Shredded Chicken Enchiladas are comforting, quick to make, and full of flavor, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish


Instructions

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

  3. Combine half of the shredded pepper jack cheese with the chicken mixture in a bowl.
  4. Place a portion of the chicken filling on each tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  5. Spread a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the dish.
  6. Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese.
