Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 (7 ounce can) diced green chiles
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup sour cream
- 16 ounces salsa verde
- 10 (8-inch) flour tortillas or 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until it's light and fluffy, about 60 seconds. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to stir in green chiles, lime juice, salt, cumin, chile powder, and cilantro until well combined. Fold in cooked chicken.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream and salsa verde until combined. Place a large spoonful of the salsa verde mixutre into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan and spread it out in a light, even layer, just enough to wet the bottom of the pan.
- Assemble enchiladas by placing a big scoop if the chicken filling onto the center of a tortilla. Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the ends as you go. Lay it in the pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remainder of the salsa verde mixture over the top of the assembled enchiladas. Sprinkle the monterey jack cheese over the tops of the enchiladas to cover.
- Bake in the preheated 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Place under the broiler setting for 2-3 minutes for extra browning. Garnish with more freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
