Garnish with jalapenos and cilantro as desired. Recipe by Sandeeg2g Published on January 6, 2021 Save Saved!

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; squeeze lime halves over chicken, then place rinds and pulp into the skillet. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes. Remove and discard lime rinds. Stir in cream cheese, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Once cream cheese is melted, remove from heat. Puree salsa verde, sour cream, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Heat tortillas in a microwave until soft, 15 to 30 seconds. Pour enough of the sour cream mixture into the prepared baking dish to coat the bottom. Place 2 heaping tablespoons or more of the chicken mixture in each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side-down in the baking dish. Pour remaining sour cream mixture over all enchiladas and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the dish with foil. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Cook's Note: You can omit corn tortillas and serve on the side or choose to layer corn tortillas, chicken, sour cream sauce, and cheese for a casserole option.
