Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the shredded chicken, sour cream, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and shredded cheese in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.

Place a few corn tortillas on a plate and warm in the microwave until pliable, 20-30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken and cheese mixture into the center of a tortilla. Gently roll the enchilada and place it seam side down in the sauced baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Pour and spread remaining salsa verde evenly over rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake the enchiladas on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.

Check to see that enchiladas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the enchiladas to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, if using, and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tortilla Technique 🌯Quickly warm corn tortillas in a hot skillet for 10-15 seconds per side to prevent cracking and improve flexibility when rolling enchiladas.
- Rotisserie Chicken Hack 🍗Shred rotisserie chicken while it's still warm to make the meat easier to pull apart and prevent drying out.
- Salsa Verde Pro Tip 🌶️For deeper flavor, briefly simmer the salsa verde before assembling enchiladas to concentrate its taste and reduce excess moisture.
- Cheese Melting Magic 🧀Use a blend of freshly shredded cheese and pre-shredded Mexican cheese blend for optimal melting and flavor complexity.
- Layering Perfection 🥘Create a thin layer of salsa verde on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent enchiladas from sticking and add extra moisture.
