Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 oz can green chiles
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
  • 20 oz green chile enchilada sauce
  • 12-14 small red chile corn tortillas

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Set your oven to 350℉.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine the chicken, 1 cup of cheese, green chiles, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

Prep the Baking Dish:

  • Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Heat the Enchilada Sauce:

  • In a small pot, bring the enchilada sauce to a boil over the stove.

Assemble the Enchiladas:

  • Working one tortilla at a time, dip it into the hot enchilada sauce to coat. Add 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture to the center of the tortilla, roll it tightly, and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat until the dish is full.

Top and Bake:

  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

Bake:

  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

  • Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!
