Step-by-Step Instructions for Green Enchiladas

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions. Add the garlic powder and cumin, then mix well until everything is blended and creamy.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Warm the corn tortillas for about 15-30 seconds per side until pliable.
  • Take a softened tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the filling onto the center. Roll it tightly and place seam-side down in your baking dish.
  • Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Use a spatula to ensure they're covered thoroughly.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.

Notes

Pair with Mexican rice or a light salad for a complete meal. Prepare the filling a day ahead to save time.
