Tender Chicken Wrapped in Tortillas

This dish combines tender chicken with a deliciously creamy cheese sauce, all wrapped in soft tortillas for a comforting and satisfying meal. It’s an easy, cheesy delight that’s perfect for a cozy dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5-ounce) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (4-ounce) diced green chiles (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until done, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced green chiles, and half of the shredded cheese until smooth.
  4. Slightly warm the tortillas to make rolling easier. Place a portion of chicken in the center of each tortilla and roll up tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce over the tortillas, fully covering them. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the cheese sauce.
  • Serve with salsa, guacamole, or a dollop of sour cream on the side.
