Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
12 corn tortillas
14 ounces enchilada sauce (preferred brand, La Victoria)
4 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
2 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onion
sour cream
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
black olives

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a skillet heat vegetable oil over medium high heat. Fry each tortilla in oil for several seconds to soften tortillas. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream and spices. Stir in chicken, 2 Cups Monterey jack (reserve the additional 1/2 cup), cheddar cheese and green onions.
Pour enchilada sauce into a pie plate. Dip each tortilla in sauce. Fill with 1/3 cup of chicken filling and roll up. Place seam side down in a 13x9x2 pan. Repeat until all enchiladas are filled.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top of enchiladas.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake until melted.
Serve with desired garnishes and enjoy!

Tips:

To make the enchiladas ahead of time, assemble them and cover them tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, thaw the enchiladas overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 hour. Bake according to the recipe instructions.
If you don't have enchilada sauce, you can make your own by simmering 2 cups of tomato sauce, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan for 15 minutes. Season to taste with additional spices, if desired.
To make the enchiladas vegetarian, omit the chicken and add an extra cup of black beans and corn to the filling.
Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.

Three-cheese chicken enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
