Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional) For garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for greasing the baking dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the enchilada sauce, and diced onion.
  3. Lay a tortilla on a clean surface, scoop some of the chicken mixture onto it, roll it up neatly, and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until they are all filled and nestled together.
Baking
  1. Drizzle the rest of the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and cover with shredded cheese.
  2. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese looks golden and bubbly.
  3. If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving warm.
