Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups salsa verde sauce divided
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 12 yellow corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1-1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Chopped cilantro for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and spray a 9x13 dish with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl add 1 cup of the salsa verde sauce, shredded chicken, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Stir to combine and until all the chicken is seasoned and moistened with the salsa verde sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat and gently toast your corn tortillas on both sides just to bring some color to the tortilla. This will help them roll better without cracking.
- When you're ready to assemble, spoon 1/2 cup of the salsa verde to the bottom of your prepared dish.
- Quickly dip your tortilla into the remaining salsa verde sauce, add some filling, roll up, and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Continue until all the tortillas and chicken have been used.
- Spoon on the sour cream and gently spread it over the enchiladas.
- Top with cheese, taking care to spread it evenly over the top.
- Add to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and just started to brown.
- Serve with chopped cilantro as garnish.
