Enchiladas are on the menu ATLEAST once a month at our house. We love them! Green chile enchiladas are one of our favorites. I took one of my old recipes and turned it “creamy” to create the perfect enchiladas. I love how they turned out! These have the perfect combination of flavors and taste absolutely delicious! They do have a little kick to them, so if you don’t like things spicy make sure to take out the chili powder and cumin.
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups shredded chicken (about 4 chicken breasts)
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp chili powder omit if you don't like things too spicy
- 1/4 tsp cumin omit if you don't like things too spicy
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green chili
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 juiced lime
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 14 oz can green chile enchilada sauce (I used Macayo's)
- 1/2-1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, garlic, chili powder, cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, lime and green chili in a medium sized bowl. Stir until combined.
- Spoon 2-3 TB into each tortilla and roll it up. Place a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 dish and then put the tortillas in.
- Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the tortiallas and top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil.
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy! Top with fresh cilantro
You can top them with cilantro when they come out of the oven.
Enjoy!

Can I just say, I’ve tried to make green chile enchiladas 3 times now (without a recipe mind you– that would take too much work to find ;) and I’ve bombed every time! So happy you posted this! I’ve pinned it and I won’t be too lazy to look it up there next time I’m making enchiladas :) Which will be tomorrow night.

The flour tortillas don’t come out gummy? I’ve always used corn because the flour ones break down. Just wondering!

Alycia Halla
Ok, all jokes aside…these were awesome! They are in the oven now and I couldn’t wait…by far these are the best ingress I’ve ever made, possibly even eaten.Thank you so much
Alycia Halla
Not ingress, enchiladas! (sorry auto correct).
Also, you answer someones question about floor tortillas. Mine were not soggy, but I would think tomorrow they would be. Awesome flavor so corn tortillas would work too, maybe white corn?. Hope that helps.

Made these tonight with a few variations… I added some sauteed mushrooms and onion.. And I did half with chicken, half with beans as I’m vegetarian. They were delish! Next time I’d adding a bit more cheese though ;) Thanks for the easy recipe!
