Ingredients
  

  • 10 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 2 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 ⅓ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ⅓ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 28 oz can green enchilada sauce

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, and 1 ½ cups each of the shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Stir until the mixture is well incorporated.
  • To soften the tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel or tea towel and microwave them for 1 minute.
  • In a skillet, gently warm the green enchilada sauce over medium heat. One at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce until lightly coated. Then, spoon approximately ⅓ cup of the chicken filling into each tortilla and roll them tightly. Place the rolled tortillas seam side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Once all tortillas are arranged in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake the enchiladas for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas have begun to crisp.
