×
Ingredients
- Shredded roasted chicken from Publix
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of enchilada sauce, divided
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded roasted chicken to the skillet and mix well with the onion and garlic.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom.
- Warm the 8 corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
- Take a tortilla and fill it with a generous portion of the chicken mixture, then roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken filling.
- Once all the enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the top, ensuring all the enchiladas are covered.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
- 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 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
