Green Chile Enchiladas are a delicious and comforting Mexican-inspired dish made with corn tortillas, cheese or chicken, and a tangy green chile sauce, baked until bubbly and golden.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (optional for vegetarian version)
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry tortillas one at a time until soft, about 10 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken (if using), 1 cup of cheese, green chiles, sour cream, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread 1/2 cup of green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Fill each tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of the filling, roll up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade green enchilada sauce.
  • To make it vegetarian, skip the chicken and use beans or just cheese.
  • Can be assembled ahead and baked when ready to serve.
