  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 8-10 flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil for sautéing

👩‍🍳 Instructions.

1️⃣ Prepare the Filling.

  1. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the diced onions until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sour cream, cooked chicken, sautéed onions, green chilies (if using), cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2️⃣ Assemble the Enchiladas.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
  4. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top, covering all the tortillas.

3️⃣ Bake.

  1. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the enchiladas.
  2. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
