Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onion. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, chopped cilantro, salt, cumin, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed and heated through.

  3. 3

    Fill Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the baking dish, pour the chile verde sauce over the top. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the sauce.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro if desired.
