Equipment

  • Cast iron baking pan

Ingredients

  • 5 cups cooked chicken diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz diced green chiles 2 - 4 ounce cans
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 28 oz green chile enchilada sauce
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese grated
  • 12 flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper as needed
US Standard - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl add the diced chicken, diced green chiles, sour cream, and softened cream cheese and mix together.
  • Add a cup and a half of the green enchilada sauce and half of the cheese, mix well. Taste, and add more sauce, salt, and pepper if needed.
  • Add a couple of tablespoons to the bottom of the baking pan, spread it around so a little bit is everywhere.
  • Place a tortilla in the pan and add small spoonful of the enchilada sauce.
  • Spread a couple of heaping spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Roll tightly and place up against the side of the pan.
  • Repeat steps six and seven until the pan is full. Spread the remaining sauce on top of the rolled enchiladas and cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then removed the foil and cook for another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and begun to turn golden brown.

Notes

  • Don't want to roll for individual enchiladas? Turn it into a casserole by layering the ingredients.
  • Want to increase the spiciness? Use medium heat enchilada sauce and spicy diced green chiles. Swap the Monterey Jack cheese with pepper jack cheese.
  • Lighten the dish up a bit by switching out the sour cream for Greek yogurt.
