Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  4. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla.
  5. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the chicken mixture in each tortilla.
  6. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder.
  • For a creamier sauce, you can add a dollop of sour cream to the chicken mixture.
