Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 8-10 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • 0.5 cup diced onions, finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or 1 tablespoon oil for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, half the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, diced onions, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until evenly blended.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet until soft and pliable to prevent cracking when rolled.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour enchilada sauce evenly over all rolled tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes before serving to help set the sauce.
