Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • Black pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10 oz) can green enchilada sauce
  • 10 small corn tortillas, warmed

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, green chiles, corn, 1 cup of the Monterey Jack, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream and enchilada sauce until smooth.
  3. Spread a thin layer of sauce in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Warm the tortillas, then spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling down the center of each, roll, and place seam side down in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over and top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until bubbly and cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes, then scoop onto plates. Top with cilantro, avocado, and lime.

Notes

If using corn tortillas, warm them first to prevent cracking. Let the enchiladas rest after baking for cleaner portions.
