Ingredients
Method
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until softened, about 4 minutes, then add garlic and cook another minute until fragrant. Stir in shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced green chiles, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave wrapped in damp paper towels for 30 seconds, or heat them one by one in a dry skillet.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Place about 1/4 cup chicken filling down the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas, ensuring they're well covered. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and cheese is golden. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cook and shred chicken the night before or use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Always warm tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing. Let enchiladas rest 5 minutes after baking for sauce to set. Can be assembled 24 hours ahead and refrigerated. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Budget-friendly substitutions include using rotisserie chicken, cream of mushroom soup, or sharp cheddar cheese.
