These salsa verde chicken enchiladas are easy and incredibly delicious. You can use store-bought green chile enchilada sauce or salsa verde for this recipe. I like the options from Hatch, Las Palmas, and Frontera. Or, to make it from scratch, try this homemade salsa verde made with tomatillos, green chile peppers, and garlic (it’s amazing).

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 6 flour tortillas or corn tortillas, 8 inches in diameter
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) green chile enchilada sauce or salsa verde
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped, plus more for serving
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, Oaxaca, or use a Mexican cheese blend

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
