Instructions

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

  • 10-12 corn tortillas

  • 1 1/2 cups green enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar)

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped (optional, for added flavor)

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying tortillas)

 

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Notes

For a spicier kick, you can use a hotter green salsa or add some chopped jalapeños to the filling.

If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can use black beans or roasted vegetables instead of chicken.
