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, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Roll the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla, add about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, and roll it tightly. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your enchiladas with toppings like sour cream, avocado, or cilantro if desired.
