Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Spread 1/4 cup of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Bake

    Pour the red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering them completely. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with crema fresca, crumbled cotija cheese, and sliced radishes. Serve warm.
