Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked onion and garlic mixture, shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, and pepper. Mix well until combined. This is your filling.
  4. Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them pliable.
  5. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Pour any remaining sauce mixture over the rolled enchiladas.
  7. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese and white cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  9. Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save preparation time.
  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the enchiladas completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the bake time if baking from cold.
  • Use a mild green chili sauce mixed into the filling for a slight flavor variation.
