Ingredients

  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, divided
  • 2 cans diced green chilis
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 pkg cream cheese, softened
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 can green chili enchilada sauce

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl combine shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheese, green chilis, onion, garlic, cumin, sour cream, cream cheese, salt, and pepper.

Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla turning until softened (this happens quick) and drain on paper towel. Spoon chicken mixture onto tortilla and roll up, placing seam side down in a baking dish. Continue assembling until all of the chicken mixture is gone.
