- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Prepare the Filling
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and fragrant. Add garlic and stir gently.
Mix in shredded chicken, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for five minutes until flavors blend well. If you want a shortcut for the chicken itself, cooking it in an air fryer first gives you incredibly juicy, easy-to-shred meat in no time.
Make the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and adjust salt if needed. This sauce will give the enchiladas a rich and soft texture.
If you enjoy making your own sauces from scratch, a homemade garlic drizzle sauce can also add a wonderful depth of flavor to dishes like this one.
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
- Add green chilies for extra flavor.
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Try mozzarella cheese for a milder taste.
- Add beans for a more filling dish.
