Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 16 oz jar prepared salsa divided
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese divided
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels thawed
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced, divided
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325ºF (165ºC). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  • Stir in ½ cup of salsa, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese, chili powder, and cumin until well combined.
  • Add shredded chicken, thawed corn, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix until evenly distributed.
  • Assemble the Enchiladas: Spread ½ cup of salsa on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Place about ½ cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll it tightly, and place seam side down in the dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
  • Bake the Enchiladas: Pour the remaining salsa over the enchiladas, spreading evenly.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and pepper jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining green onions.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional sour cream, salsa, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with extra vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or black beans. For a spicier dish, use hot salsa or add jalapeños to the filling.
