Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of enchilada sauce, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.

Enchilada Assembly

  1. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a flour tortilla and place about 1/2 cup of the chicken filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly to encase the filling and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. 4

    Repeat Filling

    Repeat the filling and rolling process for the remaining tortillas, placing them side by side in the baking dish.

  4. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the extra 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

  5. 6

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
