Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until it's light and fluffy, about 60 seconds. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to stir in green chiles, lime juice, salt, cumin, chile powder, and cilantro until well combined. Fold in cooked chicken.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream and salsa verde until combined. Place a large spoonful of the salsa verde mixutre into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan and spread it out in a light, even layer, just enough to wet the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Assemble enchiladas by placing a big scoop if the chicken filling onto the center of a tortilla. Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the ends as you go. Lay it in the pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 5

Pour the remainder of the sals verde mixture over the top of the assembled enchiladas. Sprinkle the monterey jack cheese over the tops of the enchiladas to cover.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Place under the broiler setting for 2-3 minutes for extra browning. Garnish with more freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
