Description

Cheesy, spicy, and cozy, these jalapeño popper chicken enchiladas are the ultimate comfort food, perfect for a quick meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup jalapeños, diced (fresh or pickled)
  • 10 small flour tortillas
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave to make them easier to roll.
  4. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly.
  5. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  6. Pour enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas.
  7. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t overfill the tortillas or you will have a cheesy mess. Warm tortillas make rolling easier and if you love extra saucy enchiladas, double up on the sauce.
