Delicious chicken enchiladas wrapped in soft tortillas, covered in savory enchilada sauce and melty cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas
  • 1 can red enchilada sauce (10 oz)
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn golden and fragrant.
  2. Combine the chicken: add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Mix well for about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the tortillas: lightly warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
  4. Assemble the enchiladas: place a quarter cup of chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake the enchiladas: preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes.
  7. Cool and garnish: let the enchiladas cool for about 5 minutes, then garnish with cilantro and sour cream.
  8. Serve and enjoy: dish up and savor the delicious flavors.
