Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (2 chicken breasts, roughly)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1-4 oz can green chilies
- 10-12 flour tortillas
- 20 oz green enchilada sauce

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly spray a 9x12 baking pan or casserole dish with baking spray and set aside.

- Next, mix in the sour cream and green chilies. Spoon about ¼ cup of filling onto a tortilla in a line down the center.
- Roll the tortilla up and place it into the prepared pan. Continue filling and rolling tortillas up until either filling runs out or the pan is filled.
- Pour enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, then top with cheese.

- Once baked, remove from the oven and serve.
- Storage: Enchiladas may be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
● Substitutions:
○ Flour tortillas - Corn tortillas can be used instead. Simply heat the tortillas up in
the microwave for a few seconds before filling to prevent them from cracking
when rolled.
○ Pepper jack cheese - Cheese of your choice may be used. ● Tips: ○ Add an extra can of green chilies for more flavor and a little more kick.
○ Optional toppings to serve with are sour cream, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo,
salsa, and lettuce.
○ If the enchiladas begin to brown before they're done baking, cover them with tin foil.
● What is the texture of these enchiladas? Soft flour tortillas are filled with deliciously seasoned shredded chicken, sour cream, and green chilies. Topped with green enchilada sauce and pepper jack
cheese, then baked until softened and gooey.
