Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 1 piece Lime (sliced for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin.

Step 4

Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet, let cool, and shred into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

Using the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a blender and puree until smooth (or use an immersion blender directly in the skillet).

Step 8

Spread 1/4 cup of the prepared sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Lay out one flour tortilla and fill the center with shredded chicken and a sprinkle of both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, arranging them in a single layer in the dish.

Step 11

Pour the rest of the sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring all are coated.

Step 12

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the top.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 15

Top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and green onions for garnish.

Step 16

Serve hot with lime slices on the side for a fresh citrus kick.
