Ingredients

  • 8-8 " flour tortillas
  • 2 large chicken breasts cooked about 6-8 oz each
  • 1-8 oz bottle green taco sauce I used Ortega, it has no MSG
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2-2 cups cheese shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican Blend
  • 3 green onions diced
  • add chopped cilantro if desired

Instructions

  • line a 13X9 pan with a 1/2 sheet of parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Use room temperature tortillas.
  • Shred chicken, it's easiest to do this when the chicken is warm. I put mine in my kitchen-aid mixer like in this post here.
  • Mix 6oz of green sauce with the sour cream or yogurt.
  • Use all but 1/2 cup of the sauce to mix with the chicken,
  • Add about 1/3 cup of chicken to each tortilla and roll the tortillas and place the seam down into the pan.
  • Spread the remaining green sauce mix over the tops of the tortillas and top the tortillas with cheese, onions and the remaining 2 oz of green sauce.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the center of the enchiladas are hot.
