Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup diced Jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup green chili enchilada sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• Chopped green onions, for garnish

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced Jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well blended.
3. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll each one tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the enchilada sauce and sour cream until fully combined. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas, making sure all are well covered.
5. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes before topping with chopped green onions.

Serving Suggestion

Serve warm with a side of rice, beans, or a fresh green salad. Add extra Jalapeños on top for a spicy kick!
