Ingredients
2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled, divided
1 can (4 oz) green chiles
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 flour tortillas
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes (for topping)
2 jalapeños, sliced (for topping)
2 tbsp chopped chives (for topping)
Extra sour cream for drizzling
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix shredded rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/2 cup Monterey Jack, 1/4 cup bacon, green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
2. Lay out 8 flour tortillas. Divide the chicken filling evenly and roll them up. Place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
3. Pour heavy cream over the enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top. Add remaining bacon.
4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
5. Garnish with sour cream, chopped tomatoes, jalapeño slices, and chives. Serve hot.
Notes
Warm your tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
Swap in pepper jack or Colby for a spicy cheese twist.
Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven or microwave.
