Amazing Chicken Enchiladas
- 1 whole chicken, store bought rotisserie
- 6 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 12 large onion, chopped
- 2 jalapenos, finely chopped with stems and seeds removed
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 (14 ounce) red enchilada sauce
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper (optional)
- 1 cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Shred the rotisserie chicken and set aside.
- Don't include the skin or pieces of meat you wouldn't want to bite into.
- Finely chop the onion; jalapenos and garlic (keep garlic separate).
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil and saute the onion and jalapenos over medium heat until the onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and the crushed garlic; cook for another minute (note: watch the garlic closely because it burns very easily).
- Next, turn the heat down to low and add 2 tbsp of the enchilada sauce and mix in 6 oz of cream cheese.
- Once the cream cheese is fully incorporated add the shredded chicken and take the pan off of the heat and let cool.
- Soften the corn tortillas in the microwave with a damp paper towel.
- Cover the bottom of an 8x12 baking dish with a thin layer of enchilada sauce.
- With a fork scoop chicken mixture into the tortilla, with enough room to roll the tortilla.
- Place the filled tortillas in the pan seam side down and cover with the remaining enchilada sauce.
- Bake until heated through about 15-20 minutes.
- Once done, add shredded cheese and put back in the oven until melted.
- Serve with sour cream and cilantro.
