Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 medium flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup cheddar cheese, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place a scoop of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
3. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
