Ingredients

10 flour tortillas

16 ounces sour cream

10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup

4 ounces canned diced green chiles

5 cups cooked chicken, shredded

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Soften the tortillas in the warm oven.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and canned diced green chiles until well combined.
  3. Fill Tortillas: Fill each tortilla with ½ cup of shredded chicken, 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture, and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up each tortilla and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
  4. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese and all of the cheddar cheese over the top.
  5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.

Customize the filling with vegetables or black beans for a vegetarian option.

Make-ahead tip: Assemble and freeze before baking for up to 3 months.
