Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- 1 can Diced Green Chiles, drained (4 oz)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
For Assembly
- 6 Flour Tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 cup Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1 cup Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded
- Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- Sour Cream, for serving
- 1 Green Onion, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, Mexican blend cheese, sour cream, drained green chiles, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel. This makes them pliable and easy to roll without cracking.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce (about 3 tablespoons) on the bottom of a round baking pan or oven-safe dish that fits inside your air fryer. Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the pan. They should fit snugly.
- Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas, making sure each one is well coated. Sprinkle the 1 cup of Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the pan in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden around the edges and the enchiladas are heated all the way through.
- Carefully remove the pan from the air fryer. Top with fresh chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, and a drizzle of sour cream before serving.
