List of Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning (see note)
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce (divided, see notes)
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 8 corn tortillas (or flour)
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese (I used reduced fat)

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat the bottom of a large baking dish with enchilada sauce. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, taco seasoning, ¼ cup enchilada sauce, and sour cream. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

2 Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat them for 30-60 seconds. Make sure they are pliable, this will help to prevent breaking. You can also spray them with a touch of cooking spray when warm to further prevent breaking. For a more traditional option, lightly fry each tortilla for 5-7 seconds per side in vegetable oil. Gently fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture. Roll tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish. Optional: Before filling the tortillas, dip each one in warmed enchilada sauce.This step works better when the tortillas have been lightly fried.

3 Once all the enchiladas are filled, pour the remaining sauce over top. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.

4 Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling on the edges. Serve with all your favorite toppings.
