Bahan-bahan

8 porsi

8 flour tortillas ( 10-inch burrito size)
1 1/2 lb chicken breast or thighs
3 oz cream cheese (room temp)
1/3 cup sour cream
4.5 oz diced green chilis (with their juice)
20 oz mild red enchilada sauce ((We used 2 - 10oz cans))
1 1/4 tsp salt (divided)
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese (divided (Mexican, Four Cheese or Colby Jack))

Langkah-langkah

Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13 casserole dish. Shred pre-cooked chicken or cook your own: Add chicken to a saucepan, completely cover with water and season with 1 tsp salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.
Make the Enchilada Sauce Mix: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese. Add the sour cream, green chilis, enchiladas sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika; beat until combined.
Divide the enchilada sauce mixture into two bowls, add 2/3 of the sauce into a large bowl. Set aside the remaining 1/3 of the sauce for the top.
Add the shredded chicken with 2 cups cheese to the first bowl with 2/3 of the sauce. Mix with a spatula to combine.
Generously add chicken filling to the center of each tortilla and roll up tortillas tightly. Arrange the tortillas in a 9x13 casserole dish.
Pour the reserved 1/3 of sauce over the tortillas and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese (add more cheese if desired).
Cover the dish with foil and bake at 400˚F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
