1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the Tortillas
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Quickly warm each tortilla in the skillet for about 10-15 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Set aside.
3
Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4
Assemble the Enchiladas
Spread a thin layer of the red or green chile sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, spoon some of the chicken mixture into the center, roll it up, and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5
Add Sauce and Cheese
Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining chile sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the sauce.
6
Bake
Cover the 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.
7
Serve
Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
