Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can (10 oz) green chili enchilada sauce
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup diced onions

  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, diced onions, sour cream, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
