Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Gather & Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients. Shred the rotisserie chicken if you haven’t already, chop the onions, and mince the garlic.
  2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.
  3. Mix the Chicken with Spices: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over it. Stir well and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Enchiladas: Warm the tortillas slightly. On each tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour on the Sauce: Cover the enchiladas with red enchilada sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with Cheese: Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes.
  8. Garnish & Serve: Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes, then garnish with cilantro and sour cream.

Notes
