Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 ounces diced green chilies
- 7 flour tortillas
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, freshly grated
- 16 ounces salsa verde
- 16 ounces sour cream
Instructions
- Prep the sauce: In a bowl, stir together the salsa verde and sour cream until smooth. Spread a thin layer of the mixture over the bottom of a greased baking dish.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Lay out the tortillas and spoon ⅓ cup chicken, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a spoonful of diced green chiles down the center of each one. Roll them tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish on top of the sauce.
- Add the remaining sauce: Pour the rest of the salsa verde–sour cream mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden.
- Serve: Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro, lime, or extra sour cream if desired.
