Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup green enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Take a tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
