Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 10 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese such as Monterey Jack or cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
  • Add minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the onions. Cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, then pour in half a cup of chicken broth. Mix until combined and heated through.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining chicken broth until smooth. Reserve some for topping later.
  • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
  • To assemble, spread a spoonful of the sour cream mixture on each tortilla, add chicken filling, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  • Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining sour cream sauce over them, and top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving to set the sauce slightly.
