INGREDIENTS
-
1 teaspoon neutral flavored oil
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
2 cups (16 ounces) salsa verde, store-bought
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped, plus more for serving
-
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
-
1 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend
-
6 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas (see notes)
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Warm garlic in a little oil and stir in salsa verde. The salsa already has garlic added, but I love the extra spice from the extra garlic.
Step 2: Stir in sour cream and fresh cilantro to the salsa. It’s the sour cream that makes the sauce so creamy.
Step 3: Stir in shredded chicken and a handful of cheese. By adding the chicken to the warm sauce, it gets a head start on warming up. The chicken absorbs so much flavor. I could just stop here and eat the whole skillet!
Step 4: Fill tortillas with the chicken and sauce and roll up. So the sauce stays inside the tortillas, place the enchiladas seam-side down into a baking dish.
Step 5: Spread the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with cheese. I bake them in the oven until the cheese has melted and the sauce is nice and bubbly.
