Method

Preparing the Enchiladas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Remove and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Fill the Tortillas

    In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Take one tortilla at a time, spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the center, and roll tightly. Repeat with all tortillas.

  3. 3

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Spread half of the red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the filled tortillas seam side down in the dish, and pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Bake the Enchiladas

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

Garnishing and Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garnish

    While the enchiladas are baking, chop the cilantro and slice the jalapeños. Set them aside.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once the enchiladas are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeños on top.
