- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook chicken in a pot over medium heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Shred the chicken once cooked.
