Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, refried beans, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the enchilada sauce and water until smooth.
  4. Dip each flour tortilla into the thinned enchilada sauce to coat both sides lightly.
  5. Place a generous amount of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  6. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and heated through.
