Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup vegetable oil
12 corn tortillas
14 ounces enchilada sauce (preferred brand, La Victoria)
4 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
2 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onion
sour cream
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
black olives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a skillet heat vegetable oil over medium high heat. Fry each tortilla in oil for several seconds to soften tortillas. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream and spices. Stir in chicken, 2 Cups Monterey jack (reserve the additional 1/2 cup), cheddar cheese and green onions.
  • Pour enchilada sauce into a pie plate. Dip each tortilla in sauce. Fill with 1/3 cup of chicken filling and roll up. Place seam side down in a 13x9x2 pan. Repeat until all enchiladas are filled.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top of enchiladas.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake until melted.
  • Serve with desired garnishes and enjoy!

Tips:

  • To save time, use store-bought enchilada sauce or seasoning mix. You can also make your own sauce by simmering tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chili peppers in a saucepan until fragrant and flavorful.
  • If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the enchiladas in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to flip them halfway through cooking so that they cook evenly.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese in your enchiladas. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, queso Oaxaca, and Pepper Jack.
  • Top your enchiladas with your favorite toppings before serving, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
  • Enchiladas can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply bake them in a preheated oven until heated through.
