Enchilada Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a corn tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll it up and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are placed in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.
