Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce

  • 6 small flour or corn tortillas

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for filling or topping)

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or green onions (for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with ½ cup cheese, a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce, and cumin or seasoning if using.
  • Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
