Ingredients
- 4 medium-size Chicken Breasts, cooked & shredded Baked or Boiled (I boil mine, since they tend to be more tender); you can also shred the chicken from a store-bought rotisserie chicken
- 2-3 10 oz. each Enchilada Sauce (cans) I use Old El Paso, medium (red) and mild (green)
- ½ cup Lite Sour Cream I use Daisy, but any brand will do
- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 8 Large Gluten-Free Soft Flour Tortilla Shells
- 2 Chopped Green Onions Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a large sauce pan.
- Add 1 of the cans of Enchilada Sauce and mix well over Medium heat.
- Add the sour cream and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Set up a "Work Station" like the one in the photo to make life easier. Pour the 2nd can of Enchilada sauce into a deep dish pan (I use a square baking dish). Place a large plate out to serve as a "working surface." Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- First step, using either your fingers or tongs, dip a tortilla shell into the Enchilada sauce and turn over to coat both sides. Place onto the "working surface" plate.
- Next, plop a large spoonful of the chicken mixture towards one end of the tortilla shell and gently spread the mixture out a little with the backside of the spoon.
- Roll up and place seam side down in the 9"x13" baking dish. Repeat until all tortilla shells are gone. Sprinkle the remaining Shredded Cheddar Cheese over the top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until nice and bubbly.
- Serve with sour cream and chopped green onions.
