Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and green salsa. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant. (5-7 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the sour cream-salsa mixture, half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend, and chopped green chile peppers into the skillet. Mix well to combine. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each flour tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Top the rolled enchiladas with the remaining sour cream-salsa mixture and sprinkle with the remaining shredded Mexican cheese blend. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to brown the cheese, if desired. (30-40 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the chicken mixture.
If you prefer a spicier kick, use a hot green salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Serve with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, chopped cilantro, or diced tomatoes.

    I used corn tortillas, and they turned out great. Just make sure to warm them up a little first.
