Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6–8 flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for greasing baking dish)
  • Optional: salsa, chopped green onions, jalapeños, cilantro for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Stir in shredded chicken and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly onto tortillas, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and tortillas are slightly golden.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes, then top with salsa, green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add green chilies or salsa verde to the filling for a spicy kick.
  • Use corn tortillas and layer like enchiladas for a gluten-free option.
  • Add sautéed veggies like onions, bell peppers, or spinach to the filling for extra nutrition.
  • Top with crushed tortilla chips or jalapeños for extra texture.
  • Reheat with extra sour cream or cheese to keep the dish moist.
