Ingredients

▸ 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

▸ 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles

▸ 1 cup sour cream

▸ 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese (plus extra for topping)

▸ ½ teaspoon garlic powder

▸ ½ teaspoon cumin

▸ Salt & black pepper, to taste

▸ 8 flour tortillas (or corn, if preferred)

▸ 1 (10 oz) can green enchilada sauce

▸ Optional: chopped cilantro, green onions, or sliced jalapeños for garnish

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced green chiles, sour cream, 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated and creamy.

3️⃣ Assemble the Enchiladas:

Lay out a tortilla and spoon about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture down the center. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

4️⃣ Add the Sauce & Cheese:

Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle extra pepper jack cheese on top for that gooey, melty finish.

5️⃣ Bake:

Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges.

6️⃣ Serve & Garnish:

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, or jalapeños if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, creamy perfection!
