Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave (20–30 seconds wrapped in a damp towel) to make them pliable.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Stir in the diced green chiles, cumin, and optional chili powder; cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, add cream cheese in chunks, and sour cream, whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth.
- Toss the shredded chicken with about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the sauce (reserve remaining sauce for topping).
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Cooking
- Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly browned.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
