Method
Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the diced green bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Season the Filling
Add the cooked shredded chicken to the skillet along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
Assembly and Cooking
Fill the Tortillas
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the baking dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sauce.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
