mexican Green chile, chicken and cheese enchiladas

Directions:

Prepare the Filling:

Mix the filling:

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced green chiles, sour cream, cream cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy.

Assemble the Enchiladas:

Preheat the oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Warm the tortillas:

Warm the tortillas slightly in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable and easier to roll.

Fill and roll the enchiladas:

Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Prepare the Green Chile Sauce:

Make the sauce:

In a bowl, whisk together the green enchilada sauce and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the chopped cilantro (if using) for extra flavor.

Bake the Enchiladas:

Pour the sauce:

Pour the green chile sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, making sure they are well covered.

Top with cheese:

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese generously over the enchiladas.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Garnish the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or a drizzle of sour cream if desired. Serve with Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh side salad.
