Ingredients
3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
8 flour tortillas
2 cups red enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped onion until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, sour cream, 1 cup enchilada sauce, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until the mixture is creamy and heated through.
4. Spoon the filling evenly into the tortillas, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
8. Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
Notes
Do not overfill the tortillas, or they can split and turn soggy while baking.
