Main Ingredients

  • 0.45 kilogram cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 can enchilada sauce 15 ounce, red or green
  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 0.125 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the enchilada sauce, chopped onion, and cilantro (if using). Mix well.
  • Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. You can do this in a dry skillet or in the microwave.
  • Spoon about 0.25 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Top with the shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  • Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole, if desired.

Notes

Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, avocado, or a side salad.
