Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cook onions, peppers, and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add cream cheese, green chiles, and cumin. Stir until melted. Stir in chicken and ¼ cup sour cream & ¼ cup enchilada sauce.
  3. Combine remaining ½ cup sour cream with enchilada sauce. Spread ½ cup of sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
  4. Gently heat or fry tortillas (I heat mine over the gas stove to add a smoky flavor). 
  5. Add 2 tablespoons cheese to each tortilla. Top with 3 tablespoons chicken mixture and a small sprinkle of cilantro. Roll and place seam side down in the pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  6. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
  7. Bake 20-25 minutes uncovered. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
