Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and salsa verde until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the sour cream and salsa mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them easier to roll.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sour cream and salsa mixture over the rolled enchiladas, making sure they are well-covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
- Enjoy!
