Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the pulled chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side until warm and pliable. Remove and place on a plate.

  3. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, add a tablespoon of green tomatillo sauce, and sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in a greased baking dish.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining green tomatillo sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve topped with sour cream and chopped cilantro.
