Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken, (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 cups Colby jack cheese, (shredded)
  • 1 (19-ounce) can green chile enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 (4 1/2-ounce) can can chopped green chiles
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. In a small bowl, combine chicken, 1 cup of cheese, green chiles, salt, and pepper.

  3. In a small skillet, bring enchilada sauce to a boil. Remove from heat.

  4. Dip each tortilla into the heated sauce for a few seconds to soften.

  5. Spoon ⅓ cup of chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons sour cream down the center for each tortilla (I usually put the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut the bottom tip which makes it easier to squirt right down the center).

  6. Roll the tortilla and place seam-side down in 8×8 (or 9×9) inch baking dish.

  7. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour the remaining heated enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.

  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
