- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, sour cream, and 1 cup of cheese. (also add green chilies and onions if using)
- Spoon about ⅓ - ½ cup of the chicken mixture down the center of the totillas.
- Roll up the tortillas and place in the baking dish, seam side down.
- After rolling all the chicken-filled tortillas, pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of cheese.

Notes
- Swap chicken with shredded beef or pork for a different protein.
- Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Add pinto beans, black beans or corn to the chicken mixture for extra texture.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Use another kind of cheese. Pepper Jack cheese, Colby Jack or sharp cheddar cheese are all great.
