Enchilada Ingredients
Method
Enchilada Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in shredded chicken, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Prepare Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. This helps prevent them from breaking when rolling.
Assemble Enchiladas
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, fill it with a portion of the chicken mixture, and roll it up. Place seam side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
