Ingredients

  • 2 lbs cooked and shredded chicken
  • 28 oz can, plus 10 oz can Enchilada sauce
  • 16 oz medium cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 10 medium flour tortillas
  • Green onions and sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Spoon a thin layer of enchilada sauce across the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the enchilada sauce, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until well combined.
  • Microwave the tortillas for about 10 seconds, flip them over, then microwave for another 10 seconds until soft and easy to roll.
  • Add a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture along one edge of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, arranging them snugly in the dish as you go so they all fit.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure the edges are covered.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions.
  • Serve with sour cream, if desired.
