Method

Preparation of Filling

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and taco seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Assembling Enchiladas

  1. 2

    Prepare Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

  2. 3

    Fill Tortillas

    Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Baking

    Add Sauce

    Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
