Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 1 cup Chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded chicken, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese to the center of the tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.

Step 6

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure all are fully covered. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
