- 2 (16 oz) jars salsa verde
- 1 (8 oz) container sour cream
- 4 cups cooked and cubed or shredded chicken I used 1 (1 pound) rotisserie chicken
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- 1 (16 oz) block Monterey Jack cheese shredded and divided in half
- 15 corn tortillas

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place salsa and sour cream into a blender and blend until smooth. This is our cream sauce. Set aside.
- Place chicken, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, 1 1/2 cups cream sauce, and 8 oz shredded cheese into a large bowl and stir until combined.
- Taste and re-season, if necessary, then set aside.
- Stack the corn tortillas, wrap them in dampened paper towels, then microwave for 30 seconds (this helps warm the tortillas so they won’t rip).
- Working with 1 tortilla at a time, fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup filling, roll, then place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour 2 1/2 cups cream sauce* on top of the enchiladas, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot.
- Serve with toppings of choice and enjoy!
