Ingredients
- Shredded Chicken
- Jalapeños
- Cream Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese
- Tortillas
- Enchilada Sauce
- Green Onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until everything is combined and creamy.
- Take a tortilla and spoon some of the chicken mixture down the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Repeat until all the filling is used.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for added freshness and flavor.
- Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. They pair beautifully with sour cream or guacamole on the side.
