Ingredients

4 cups shredded chicken
2 cups your favorite smooth salsa (not chunky)
1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
8 medium flour tortillas (I use soft taco size)
2 1/4 cups shredded co-jack cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add chicken, 1/2 cup of salsa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl. Mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In another small bowl whisk remaining 2 cups of salsa, sour cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon enough of the sauce into the the prepared pan to lightly coat the bottom.
Set aside 1 1/4 cups cheese to top the enchiladas. Place filling in the tortilla and sprinkle with a little bit of the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Roll up and place in the prepared pan, seam-side down. Continue with remaining tortillas.
Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in the oven until cheese has melted and enchiladas are bubbling and hot, about 25-30 minutes. Serve with your favorite garnishes.
