Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 16 oz Herdez Salsa Verde
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz diced green chiles
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 8 flour tortillas, 8-inch burrito-sized
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, salsa verde, sour cream, green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Reserve 1 cup of the sauce mixture.
- Add the chicken and 1 cup of Colby Jack cheese to the remaining sauce mixture and stir to combine. Divide the filling among the tortillas, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the reserved sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Colby Jack cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
