Chicken Enchilada Ingredients

Method

Chicken Enchilada Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix the Chicken

    Add the shredded cooked chicken to the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over low heat for about 1 minute on each side to make them pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a warm tortilla, place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center, sprinkle some chopped cilantro, and roll it up tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

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

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
