Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather a mixing bowl and a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chiles, half of the pepper jack cheese, and half of the creamy green enchilada sauce. Mix well.
  3. Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the filling. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
  4. Pour the remaining creamy green enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas, then sprinkle the rest of the pepper jack cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sour cream if desired.

Notes

Don't overstuff the tortillas to prevent tearing. For a crispy topping, use a broiler in the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Consider garnishing with fresh cilantro, avocado, or sour cream before serving.
