Ingredients:
– 8 small flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
– 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture for topping the enchiladas later.
3. In another bowl, mix the sour cream, diced green chilies, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Warm up the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.
5. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese and sour cream mixture onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
6. Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
7. Sprinkle the reserved cheese mixture on top, covering each enchilada evenly.
8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to lightly brown the cheese on top.
10. Once done, remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh finish.
These Creamy Cheese Enchiladas are best served hot, straight from the oven. Pair them with a side of Mexican rice, refried beans, or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. You can also customize the recipe by adding cooked chicken, beef, or veggies to the filling for extra protein and flavor.
