Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 can diced green chilies

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or your choice)

8-10 flour tortillas

1 can enchilada sauce

Instructions:




Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, diced green chilies, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Assemble the Enchiladas:

Spoon the chicken and cream cheese mixture onto each flour tortilla.

Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

Top with Sauce and Cheese:

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are all coated.

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchilada sauce.

Bake:

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are lightly golden.

Serve:

Once done, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Garnish (Optional):

Garnish with additional cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
