Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 8 soft tortillas
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use a rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet before filling them to make them more pliable.
- Use a baking dish that is just the right size to hold the enchiladas snugly, so they don't unravel while baking.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, salsa verde, chopped cilantro, chopped onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.
4. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
5. Pour any remaining salsa verde over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
6. Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
8. Serve the enchiladas hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
