Instructions
- 1Shred the cooked chicken breast and combine in a large bowl with the part-skim mozzarella, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning packet until evenly mixed.
- 2Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave over high heat for 1 minute until pliable.
- 3Warm the red enchilada sauce in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until steaming.
- 4Working with one tortilla at a time, dip it into the warm enchilada sauce until lightly coated on both sides, then place on a flat surface, scoop approximately ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture into the center, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in a 9×13-inch baking dish; repeat until all tortillas are filled and arranged in a single layer.
- 5Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- 6Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the sauce bubbles at the edges and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- 7Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes.
- 8Divide evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot, then refrigerate or freeze for meal prep.
