Recipe Instructions:

1. Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.

2. Make Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups of sour cream, diced green chilies, chopped green onions, 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, and ground cumin until well combined.

3. Add Chicken and Cheese: Stir in the shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Fill Tortillas: Spoon a generous 1/2 cup of the filling mixture down the center of each flour tortilla. Roll up the tortillas, enclosing the filling, and place them seam side down into the prepared baking dish.

5. Assemble Enchiladas: Once all the tortillas are filled and rolled up, arrange them snugly in the baking dish.

6. Bake: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

7. Bake Until Bubbling: Bake the enchiladas covered for about 45 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the enchiladas are heated through.

8. Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Uncover the dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Garnish and Serve: Remove the enchiladas from the oven. If desired, top with a dollop of remaining sour cream and garnish with extra chopped cilantro.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these Ultimate Yummiest Ever Chicken Enchiladas hot, with your favorite sides like Mexican rice, guacamole, or a crisp green salad.

These enchiladas are sure to be a hit at any dinner table, combining creamy textures with the zesty flavors of green chilies and cilantro. Perfect for family dinners or when you’re entertaining guests, they offer a comforting and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
