Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a corn tortilla, fill it with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture, and roll it tightly. Place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Add sauce and cheese

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

  4. 4

    Bake the enchiladas

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. 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 choice of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or fresh cilantro.
