Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it is hot enough to cook the enchiladas evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with 1 cup of red enchilada sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture to the center, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 4

    Repeat the Process

    Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until all the chicken mixture is used up. You should have about 12 filled tortillas.

  3. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining 1 cup of red enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the sauce.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.
