Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth to create the creamy white sauce.
- In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the creamy white sauce mixture until well-coated.
- Take a flour tortilla, scoop about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center, and roll it up.
- Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Pour the remaining creamy white sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier enchilada, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Corn tortillas can be used instead of flour, but they may require warming before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese can be substituted for cheddar for a different flavor profile.
