Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded chicken cooked
  • 10 tortillas flour or corn, 8-inch
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded, divided
  • 15 oz red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes for garnish
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the red enchilada sauce and sour cream to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half a cup of the creamy sauce and half a cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining creamy sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven, garnish with diced tomatoes and fresh parsley, and serve hot.
