Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté them until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season it with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through.
- In a separate saucepan, warm the enchilada sauce over low heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto it. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the warmed enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are evenly covered.
- Spread the sour cream and cheese mixture over the top of the enchiladas, and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with additional chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Whit's Chicken Enchiladas hot and enjoy!
