  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 baking dish (9x13 inches)
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 aluminum foil
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for ease.
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 12 small flour tortillas Feel free to use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup of cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Stir until well mixed and heated through (about 5 minutes).
  • Remove the skillet from heat and spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  • Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the dish, pour the remaining chicken mixture over the top. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly on top.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  • Once done, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
