Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded chicken
- 2 cups your favorite smooth salsa (not chunky)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 8 medium flour tortillas (I use soft taco size)
- 2 1/4 cups shredded co-jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add chicken, 1/2 cup of salsa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl. Mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In another small bowl whisk remaining 2 cups of salsa, sour cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon enough of the sauce into the the prepared pan to lightly coat the bottom.
- Set aside 1 1/4 cups cheese to top the enchiladas. Place filling in the tortilla and sprinkle with a little bit of the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Roll up and place in the prepared pan, seam-side down. Continue with remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in the oven until cheese has melted and enchiladas are bubbling and hot, about 25-30 minutes. Serve with your favorite garnishes.
