Ingredients
Scale
3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
8–10 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheese until well combined.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla, roll it up, and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.
Spread any remaining chicken mixture over the top of the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional toppings if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, sauté some chopped onions and garlic and mix them into the chicken filling.
To make the tortillas more pliable and prevent cracking, warm them slightly before filling.
For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the filling.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
