Ingredients
  

  • 140 grams 5 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • 60 ml 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 470 ml 2 cups salsa of choice
  • 225 grams 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 225 grams 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese, divided
  • 470 grams 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 165 grams 1 cup thawed frozen corn kernels
  • 2.5 ml 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1.25 ml 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 scallions thinly sliced
  • 8 large 8-inch flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Blend the cream cheese and sour cream in a medium container, then add half a teaspoon of your chosen salsa and stir in half a cup of each type of cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the corn, cumin, chili powder, pepper, chicken, and half the scallions.
  • Spread about half a cup of salsa into the bottom of a baking dish. Place half a cup of the filling onto a tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Pour the remaining salsa over the enchiladas, making sure to cover them entirely. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top.
  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until hot and bubbly, around 25 minutes. Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining scallions.
