A cozy family favorite, these creamy white chicken enchiladas are quick to make and bursting with flavor. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Monterey Jack or Cheddar)

  2. Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, half of the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat, spoon some chicken mixture into the center, and roll it up tightly.
  4. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish, closely packed together.
  5. Pour the green enchilada sauce over the top, ensuring they are well coated.
