Description
Double Cheese Chicken Enchilada Rollups are a delectable Tex-Mex inspired dish that combines the irresistible flavors of enchiladas with the creamy texture of shredded chicken and a double dose of melted cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
- 8 flour tortillas
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix everything together until well-incorporated.
3. Assemble the rollups: Spoon the chicken filling onto the center of each flour tortilla, then tightly roll the tortilla around the filling, ensuring a secure seal.
4. Bake the rollups: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the rollups.
5. Bake to perfection: Bake the Double Cheese Chicken Enchilada Rollups uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the baked rollups with fresh chopped cilantro (if desired) and serve hot, ready to be enjoyed by all.
Notes
Choose large, soft flour tortillas that can easily accommodate the generous filling without tearing.
For the best texture, use a fork or your hands to shred the cooked chicken into fine, tender strands.
Feel free to experiment with other cheese varieties to suit your taste preferences.
If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili powder in the filling. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use a hotter enchilada sauce.
Leftover Double Cheese Chicken Enchilada Rollups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat, simply place the rollups in the oven or microwave until warm and the cheese is melted.
