Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or avocado

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Assembly
  1. In an 8x11 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the prepared sauce on the bottom.
  2. Grab your tortillas, and fill each one with shredded chicken and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it up tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish.
  3. Once all your enchiladas are assembled, pour the remaining sauce generously over the top.
  4. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the enchiladas.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  2. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with cilantro, jalapeños, or avocado if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
