Ingredients
  

For the Enchiladas
  • 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken Consider using rotisserie chicken for a quick option.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be a healthier alternative.
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese Melts beautifully for a creamy texture.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Use mild cheddar for a less intense taste.
  • 1 can (10 oz) Green Enchilada Sauce A homemade version can elevate it even more.
  • 8 pieces Flour Tortillas Swap for corn tortillas if warmed first to prevent breaking.
For Toppings
  • ½ cup Chopped Cilantro Adds freshness and vibrant color.
  • ¼ cup Chopped Green Onions Provides a lively crunch and extra flavor.
