Enchiladas Bandera

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Ingredients

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

2

Assemble the Enchiladas

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

3

Add the Sauces

Pour the red enchilada sauce over half of the enchiladas and the green enchilada sauce over the other half. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

4

Bake the Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

5

Serve

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Top with chopped cilantro, slices of avocado, and a dollop of sour cream before serving.
