Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 15 oz jars green chili salsa or salsa verde
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • Freshly ground for the best flavor
  • 12 gluten-free tortillas I use Siete Almond Flour Tortillas — soft and pliable, perfect for rolling enchiladas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Mozzarella or Monterey Jack

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease a 9”x13” baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer or spoon), combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and the cream cheese is evenly distributed.
  • Pour in one jar (15 oz) of green chili salsa or salsa verde and mix again until fully incorporated. The mixture should be creamy and well-seasoned.
  • Warm the tortillas slightly (in a microwave or skillet) to make them more pliable if needed.
  • Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish or casserole dish. Continue until all tortillas are filled and arranged in the pan.
  • Pour the second jar (15 oz) of salsa verde evenly over the rolled enchiladas, covering all surfaces to keep them moist. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown slightly around the edges. If you prefer a more golden top, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
  • Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings like chopped fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. If we are feeling fancy, we will drizzle a little lime juice over top!
