Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this irresistible recipe—most of which you probably already have on hand!

1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 5-oz. can diced green chiles

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen and defrosted)

3 green onions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped

3 Tbsp. chopped cilantro, plus more leaves for garnish

1 container Rumiano Organic Pepper Jack Queso, melted and cooled slightly (plus more for topping if desired)

Kosher salt to taste

8-10 large flour tortillas (8” if possible)

15 oz. (about two cups) green chile enchilada sauce (we recommend Siete Brands)

Optional: Shredded Monterey Jack for topping

How to Make Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Follow these easy steps to create your new favorite dish in under an hour!

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2: Prep the Filling

Grab a large mixing bowl and combine the shredded chicken, green chiles, corn, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.

Now, add the melted Rumiano Organic Pepper Jack Queso and stir again. Give it a quick taste test—add a pinch or two of kosher salt if needed. This creamy, cheesy filling is the heart of what makes these enchiladas so irresistible!

Step 3: Roll the Tortillas

Lay a tortilla flat and spread about ⅓ cup of the filling horizontally across the bottom third. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas. Pack them snugly together—they'll thank you for it later when they're bubbling and golden.

If you have leftover filling, don’t worry! You can freeze it for a quick meal another day.

Step 4: Add the Sauce

Pour the green chile enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Spread it with a spoon to ensure every bit is coated—it’s what keeps them moist and flavorful while baking.

Step 5: Finish with Cheese

Optional but highly recommended! Sprinkle shredded Rumiano Organic Monterey Jack on top or drizzle additional Rumiano Organic Pepper Jack Queso for extra cheesiness.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the edges are crisp and golden.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Pull your enchiladas out of the oven and let them cool for at least 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with an extra dollop of queso or sour cream if desired. Enjoy every bite of this cheesy, flavorful masterpiece!

Recipe Tips and Swaps

Vegetarian? Use roasted or sautéed vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms in place of chicken.

Spice It Up: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for an extra kick.

Make It Gluten-Free: Sub your regular tortillas with gluten-free ones—there are so many great options available!

Storage Hack: Leftovers freeze beautifully. Simply reheat and savor later.
