Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, 1 cup of shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced green chilies. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
-
Take a corn tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll it up and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
-
Once all the enchiladas are lined up in the baking dish, pour any remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
-
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden brown.
-
Once done, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with extra cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
