Here’s how you can make this delicious recipe at home!
★Ingredients
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican cheese blend)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
8 flour or corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green chiles
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1/2 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
★Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the shredded cheese, green chiles, salt, and pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed.
- Fill the Tortillas: Take each tortilla and place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
- Bake and Serve: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the enchiladas and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Enjoy!
