Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a small skillet heat olive oil on medium heat and add onions. Cook 3-5 minutes then add garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
3. In a medium bowl whisk 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup sour cream until combined. Mix in chicken, onions, garlic, cream cheese, chiles, cumin, pepper and 1 1/2 cups pepper jack cheese.
4. In a small bowl add the remaining enchilada sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup sour cream and whisk until combined.
5. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
6. Place a few corn tortillas on a microwave safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat 30-45 seconds to steam.
7. Then add about 1/2 cup chicken mixture to each tortilla, roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until they are done. Pour the enchilada sauce mixture over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top
8. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
1. When serving, I topped them with a dollop of sour cream, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
2. Soft flour tortillas can be used instead of corn. No need to pre-cook flour tortillas prior to assembling the enchiladas.
3.These enchiladas make a perfect freezer meal. I just recommend using a disposable metal tin covered with foil. Just thaw for about a couple of hours or overnight in the fridge then bake as directed.
