Green Chili Enchiladas
Ingredients
- 12 ea 8 inch tortillas
- 2 lbs ground or shredded chicken
- 6 cups shredded jack cheese
- 2 cans green enchilada sauce (28oz each)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Cook chicken and set aside, season to taste.
-
Preheat oven to 350°
-
Fill the bottom of a dinner plate with enchilada sauce. Coat the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish with enchilada sauce to prevent sticking.
-
Dredge each side of a tortilla through plate of sauce and place on a clean plate. Spread about 1/2 cup of meat and a sprinkle of cheese down the middle of each tortilla and roll up. Place tortill in the 13x9 dish. Repeat and tuck each enchilada next to each other.
-
Add enchilada sauce to the plate as needed. Once the baking dish is full, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas in the dish. Top with 4 cups of cheese (or more!!) and then cover with foil.
-
Place dish in over and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, slice along enchilada lines and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

You can add additional ingredients to the enchilada filling! We like black beans, purple onions, corn, diced green chilis or refried beans!
