Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can 10 oz enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Take a tortilla and fill it with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the sour cream until well combined. Pour this mixture over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the sauce.
  7. Drizzle olive oil over the top for added flavor.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired before serving.
