Enchilada Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, salt, and pepper, cooking until heated through. Remove from heat and mix in half of the chopped cilantro.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

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

  3. 3

    Add Mole Sauce and Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve warm with sour cream on the side.
