Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the cheese, diced green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Spread 2–3 tablespoons of the green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place them seam-side down in the dish.
- Whisk the remaining enchilada sauce together with the sour cream, then pour it evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeños before serving, if desired.
Variations
- Use rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.
- Swap flour tortillas for corn if you prefer a more traditional texture.
- Add sautéed onions or spinach to the filling for extra depth.
- Mix a bit of salsa verde into the sauce for an even brighter green chili flavor.
Tips
- Warm your tortillas before filling to prevent cracking when rolled.
- For extra moisture, add a splash of chicken broth to the sauce mixture.
- Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes after baking to help the sauce set slightly.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly and creates a creamier finish.
