Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack and Swiss cheese blend, divided
- 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Prepare the sauce by whisking together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the sautéed onions and remove about 1/2 cup of this sauce mixture to set aside for the filling.
- Step 3: Combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese blend, and the reserved 1/2 cup of sauce mixture in a bowl. Mix thoroughly to create the filling.
- Step 4: Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling down the center of each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Step 5: Pour the remaining soup sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese blend on top.
- Step 6: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If you have leftovers, keep them sealed in the fridge for up to three days, but freezing is not recommended as the creamy sauce may separate when thawed.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave or cover the dish loosely with foil and warm in a 300°F oven until the center is piping hot, which helps maintain the sauce's consistency.
- Balance the rich, creamy flavor by serving with a light side, like a crisp green salad dressed in a tangy lemon vinaigrette, or a simple side of quick-slaw.
- Before rolling, lightly warm your flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds, wrapped in a damp towel, to make them pliable and prevent cracking when you stuff them with the cheesy chicken filling.
