Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  2. 4

    Repeat the Process

    Continue filling and rolling the tortillas until all the filling is used up. You should have approximately 12 enchiladas.

Baking

  1. 5

    Add Sauce

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve topped with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and sliced olives as desired.
