Description
Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Cups with crispy tortilla edges, tender chicken filling, and melted cheese baked into easy-to-serve portions.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken
1 cup enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded cheese
6 tortillas
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
salt and pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking
2. Press tortillas into muffin wells, shaping them into cups that hold their structure
3. Mix chicken, enchilada sauce, sour cream, and spices until evenly combined
4. Fill each tortilla cup with the mixture without overpacking to allow even cooking
5. Top each cup with shredded cheese, distributing evenly across all portions
6. Bake for 15–20 minutes until edges are lightly crisp and cheese is melted and slightly golden
7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing to help them hold their shape
Notes
Use smaller tortillas for better structure and easier shaping
Avoid adding too much sauce to keep the base from becoming soggy
Let the cups cool slightly before removing from the pan to prevent breaking
Reheat in the oven to restore some crispness to the tortilla edges
