Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Filling

    In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with 1 cup of red enchilada sauce. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until pliable. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a tortilla, add about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center, and roll it up tightly. Place seam side down in a baking dish.

  2. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the baking dish, pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the enchiladas hot, alongside cooked rice and refried beans. Top with shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, and a slice of tomato.
