Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup diced green chiles (canned or fresh)

8 small flour tortillas

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups green enchilada sauce

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, half of the mozzarella cheese, diced green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well incorporated.

      Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.

        Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

          Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the top, ensuring all are well-coated.

            Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the enchiladas.

              Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

                Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
