Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (10 ounce) cans mild enchilada sauce (I use one of the green sauce and one red sauce)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken, you can buy the already chicken in the cans to save time
1/2 cup sour cream
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, undrained
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
10 flour tortillas (6-7")

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour 1 can of enchilada sauce in a 9by13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl,combine chicken,sour cream,chilies,onions and salt.
  • Stir in one cup of cheese.
  • Spoon about 1/3 cup of chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  • Roll up tortillas and place seam side down in prepared baking dish.
  • Pour remaining can of enchilada sauce over top;sprinkle with remaining one cup of cheese.
  • Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.
  • Serves 6-6 I have doubled this recipe before- experiment around with the enchilada sauce-- I prefer one can of green sauce and 1 red sauce-- but you can use whatever you like-- also you can add more cheese on the top-- these really are yummy!
  • hope ya like them-- also you can use the hot enchilada sauce instead of the mild, we just use the mild because of my kids-- they love this recipe-- not to spicy for them.
