Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in shredded chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla, fill it with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture, roll it up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream and fresh cilantro on the side.
