Filling and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Sauté the Filling

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

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Stir in the shredded chicken, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, mixing well to incorporate spices.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

  4. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the green enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your enchiladas hot!
