Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the chicken: Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. If desired, season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave to make them pliable. Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Take each tortilla, add some shredded chicken, and top with a spoonful of enchilada sauce. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Top with cheese and sauce: Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
- Bake the enchiladas: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispy top, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Serve and garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
