INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined, creating a creamy and flavorful filling.
Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla, spreading it along the center. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Sauce and Cheese Layer
- Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each one is coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or Mexican blend cheese) generously over the top of the enchiladas, creating a melty and irresistible cheese layer.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- For a golden finish, uncover the dish and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve with Love
- Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños for a kick, and a dollop of sour cream for creamy indulgence.
- Serve these creamy, cheesy, and flavorful Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas to your eager guests, inviting them to savor each bite and share in the warmth of a delicious meal together.
