Description

Warm and tasty chicken enchiladas with a creamy salsa verde sauce and a hint of cilantro.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 810 corn or flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, salsa verde, sour cream, and half of the cheese.
  3. Warm the tortillas in a skillet to make them more pliable.
  4. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
  5. Pour any remaining salsa verde over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
