- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken.
- Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the sour cream and pour it over the top of the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the sauce.
- Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional) and serve hot.
Tips:
- You can use leftover or rotisserie chicken instead of baking chicken breasts from scratch.
- You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as pepper jack or monterey jack.
