Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Filling

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, refried beans, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well until combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the red enchilada sauce, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Fill Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla and dip it briefly in the enchilada sauce to soften it. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture in the center of the tortilla.

  2. 5

    Roll Tortillas

    Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 6

    Add Sauce and Cheese

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

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake

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

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish

    Remove enchiladas from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes. Top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños as desired before serving.
