Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 8 (8 inch) corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, enchilada sauce, sour cream, and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Warm the tortillas slightly so they are pliable. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by warming them briefly in a dry skillet.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla.
- Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour any remaining chicken mixture over the top of the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings if desired.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker meal.
- Adjust the amount of enchilada sauce based on your spice preference.
- If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of milk or water.
