For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cumin or chili powder to the enchilada sauce mixture. Feel free to substitute the Pepper Jack cheese with Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a Mexican cheese blend. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. To prevent the tortillas from drying out during baking, you can cover the baking dish with foil for the first 20 minutes, then remove the foil for the remaining baking time. Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave or oven.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepSplit each chile lengthwise and remove the seeds. This will mellow out the heat and create space for more cheese! (10 minutes)
03
StepArrange 2 chile halves and about 3 1/2 tablespoons of the Pepper Jack cheese near the edge of each tortilla. Roll up tightly to enclose the filling. (15 minutes)
04
StepRepeat with remaining tortillas, chiles, and cheese. Arrange the filled tortillas seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the enchilada sauce and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Spoon evenly over the filled tortillas. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly, heated through, and the tortillas are lightly golden. (30 minutes)
07
StepGarnish generously with fresh cilantro before serving. The bright, herbaceous notes of the cilantro beautifully complement the rich and savory flavors of the dish. (2 minutes)
