Description

Delicious cheesy chicken enchiladas topped with fresh ingredients and a hint of spice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 ounces green enchilada sauce (can substitute red)
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken (or leftover cooked chicken, cubed)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 4 ounces canned green chilis
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese (shredded plus more for the top if desired)
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 whole avocado (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray and spread about 1 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom.
  3. In a medium sized bowl, combine chicken, room temperature cream cheese, green chilies, and 2 cups of cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine.
  4. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all 8 tortillas.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is golden brown.
  7. Top with sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes and sliced avocados, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
