Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in shredded chicken, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a corn tortilla, fill it with a portion of the chicken mixture, roll it up, and place it seam side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the green enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot. Enjoy your chicken enchiladas!
