Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in shredded chicken, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a corn tortilla, add a portion of the chicken mixture, and roll it up. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 4

    Add Salsa Verde and Cheese

    Pour the salsa verde evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your chicken enchiladas topped with salsa verde!
