Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Chicken Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with 1 cup of shredded cheese and 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds or until pliable. This will help them roll without cracking.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Fill Tortillas

    Take a tortilla and place about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 5

    Repeat

    Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and chicken filling, placing each rolled tortilla side by side in the baking dish.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Add Sauce

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

  2. 7

    Bake

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

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with sour cream if desired.
