Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 1 10 oz can red enchilada sauce

  2. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions or fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot with a side of rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
