Ingredients:
- 3 cups (450g) Shredded Rotisserie Chicken
- 8 oz (225g) Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup (115g) Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Sour Cream
- 1 tsp (5g) Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
- 2 cups (480ml) Red or Green Enchilada Sauce
- 8 medium Corn Tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups (170g) Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tbsp (30ml) Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp (30g) Diced Red Onion
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Sour Cream for garnish
Instructions:
- Combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, softened cream cheese, Monterey Jack, sour cream, garlic powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Note: Use a spatula to fold until the chicken is fully coated in a thick paste.
- Heat a small skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Briefly warm each corn tortilla for 5-10 seconds per side until pliable and slightly glistening. Note: According to [Serious Eats](https://www.seriouseats.com), this process prevents the tortillas from cracking during the roll.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling into the center of each warmed tortilla.
- Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled Chicken Enchiladas, ensuring the edges are covered to prevent drying.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce until the surface is fully covered.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced red onion, and dollops of sour cream before serving.
