Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened & cubed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 4 ounces chopped green chiles drained
- 1 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce plus more for serving
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream room temperature
- 6-10 flour tortillas or corn tortillas
For Garnish (optional):
- Blue cheese crumbles
- fresh cilantro
- ranch dressing
- green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, 1 ½ cups shredded cheese, green chiles, and ½ cup Buffalo sauce, stirring until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, remaining Buffalo sauce, and heavy cream.
- Microwave the tortillas in batches until warm, softened and foldable, about 30 seconds. Keep warm between damp paper towels.
- Spoon ½ cup of the chicken mixture down the middle of each tortilla and roll up. Place them side by side, seam-side down, in the prepared pan. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake 15-18 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with blue cheese or drizzle the ranch dressing over the enchiladas, then garnish with cilantro or green onions. Serve with more Buffalo sauce, if desired.
