Ingredients
8 flour or corn tortillas
6 roasted green chiles (peeled and seeded)
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
Optional Additions:
1½ cups green chile enchilada sauce or salsa verde
½ cup sour cream (for serving)
Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
¼ teaspoon cumin or garlic powder (for flavor boost in the sauce)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Assemble the Enchiladas:
Lay out tortillas and place one roasted chile in the center of each. Add a generous amount of shredded cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.
Add Sauce and Toppings:
Pour enchilada sauce over the tortillas to coat evenly. Sprinkle with extra cheese if desired.
Bake:
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Top with sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or green onions.
Notes
Use store-bought roasted green chiles to save time.
Pepper Jack adds a spicy kick if you like more heat.
For a heartier meal, add cooked ground beef, chicken, or black beans to the filling.
Corn tortillas offer a traditional flavor, while flour tortillas are easier to roll and result in a softer texture.
