Enchiladas Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, then stir in cooked shredded chicken, diced green chilies, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly for 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, chicken broth, cream cheese, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Take a flour tortilla and fill it with approximately ¼ cup of the chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly. Repeat until all filling is used.
  6. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the dreamy white sauce evenly over the top.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining sharp cheddar cheese over the enchiladas.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
