Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the enchiladas will cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Chicken Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Warm Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until they are pliable, then set aside on a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Assemble Enchiladas

    Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a warm tortilla, place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center, sprinkle with some cheese, and roll it up. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all tortillas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauce.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with sour cream and chopped green onions before serving.
