mexican Green chile, chicken and cheese enchiladas
Directions:
Prepare the Filling:
Mix the filling:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced green chiles, sour cream, cream cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
Assemble the Enchiladas:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Warm the tortillas:
Warm the tortillas slightly in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable and easier to roll.
Fill and roll the enchiladas:
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the Green Chile Sauce:
Make the sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together the green enchilada sauce and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the chopped cilantro (if using) for extra flavor.
Bake the Enchiladas:
Pour the sauce:
Pour the green chile sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, making sure they are well covered.
Top with cheese:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese generously over the enchiladas.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Garnish the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or a drizzle of sour cream if desired. Serve with Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh side salad.
