Ingredients
Scale
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or poached)
1 cup salsa verde
10 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil (for softening tortillas)

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half the salsa verde, some shredded cheese, sour cream, garlic, lime juice, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper and stir until well combined.
Warm oil in a skillet over medium heat; briefly fry each tortilla until pliable, then stack them and cover with a towel.
Spoon salsa verde into a baking dish, add filling to each tortilla, roll, and place seam side down in the dish. Pour remaining salsa verde on top.
Sprinkle rest of the cheese over the enchiladas and bake at 375°F for 18 to 22 minutes. Let rest before serving.
