Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in shredded chicken, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla and place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cilantro, or avocado.
