Enchiladas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the enchilada sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a tortilla, add a portion of the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll tightly. Place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the enchiladas hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, sour cream, alongside cooked rice and beans.
