Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil and warm for about 1 minute. Add diced onion, cooking until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in softened cream cheese until it melts into a smooth mixture, then add diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined and heated through.
- Add shredded chicken to the cream cheese mixture, folding it in gently until fully incorporated. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
- Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Take a tortilla and place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll tightly and place seam-side down into the baking dish, repeating with remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly across the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes before serving. Prepare garnishes if desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, cilantro, or avocado.
