Easy Chicken Enchiladas Flavorful and Simple Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup enchilada sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, for garnish
• 1 cup sliced olives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ½ cup of cheddar cheese, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Take one tortilla and spoon about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture onto one end. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
4. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.
5. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top of the sauce.
6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and sliced olives if desired.
