Scale
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, half of the cheddar cheese, onions, bell peppers, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
