Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
- 1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro (optional)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper, cooking until golden brown (about 7-10 minutes).
- Remove cooked chicken from heat, let cool slightly, then shred using two forks.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Lay flat for assembly.
- Spread shredded chicken on each tortilla, drizzle with enchilada sauce, sprinkle cheese generously, then roll tightly from one end to another.
