Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2
    Warm tortillas in a skillet with a little olive oil, 15 seconds per side, then cover to keep warm.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, 1 cup Monterey Jack, 1/2 cup cheddar, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. 4
    Spoon about 1/4 cup filling onto each tortilla. Roll up tightly and arrange seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. 5
    Pour red enchilada sauce over one half of the enchiladas and green sauce over the other half. Gently spread to cover but don’t mix too much.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
  7. 7
    Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. 8
    Let rest 5 minutes, then top with extra green onions, cilantro, and any optional garnishes before serving.
