Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
2 tsp Lawry’s seasoned salt
1 tbsp steak seasoning
Olive oil, for cooking
2 lbs Pepper Jack cheese, shredded and divided
10–12 flour tortillas
2 cups heavy whipping cream (1 pint)
Tomatoes, for garnish
Red onion, for garnish
Jalapeño, for garnish
Avocado, for garnish
Cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Mix seasoned salt and steak seasoning in a small bowl.
- Pat chicken dry and rub with the seasoning mixture.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Cook chicken in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until browned; transfer to a plate.
- Shred pepper jack cheese, reserving 2 cups for topping.
- Assemble enchiladas by placing chicken and a handful of cheese in each tortilla, rolling tightly, and placing seam-side-down in the dish.
- Pour heavy cream evenly over the tortillas and top with remaining cheese.
- Spray a sheet of foil with nonstick spray and cover the dish. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
- Let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, avocado, and cilantro.
Notes
Add sautéed onions or green chiles for extra flavor.
Swap some pepper jack for Monterey Jack for a milder version.
Low-carb or whole wheat tortillas also work well.
Sprinkle smoked paprika on top for added warmth.
Store leftovers up to 3 days and reheat at 325°F.
