Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup enchilada sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Garnish

Fresh cilantro, chopped
Sliced jalapeños (optional, for extra heat)

Homemade Tortilla Graves

4 flour tortillas
4 corn tortillas
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Cook chicken breasts by boiling or baking until fully cooked. Once cooled slightly, shred the chicken using two forks or a mixer until tender and ready to absorb flavors.
Mix the Dip Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with softened cream cheese, sour cream, enchilada sauce, shredded cheese, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until creamy and evenly blended.
Bake the Dip: Transfer the prepared dip mixture into a baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly golden.
Make the Homemade Tortilla Graves: While the dip bakes, slice the flour and corn tortillas into strips or wedges. Toss them with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake or air-fry the tortilla pieces until they turn crispy and golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the dip is hot and bubbly and the tortilla graves are crisp, serve them together. Garnish the dip with freshly chopped cilantro and optional sliced jalapeños for added heat.

Notes

For easier shredding, use hot cooked chicken and shred immediately.
You can use store-bought enchilada sauce or homemade for fresher flavor.
Adjust jalapeños according to your preferred spice level or omit for milder taste.
To make the tortilla graves extra crunchy, let them cool completely after baking or air-frying.
This dip can be made ahead and baked just before serving to save time.
