Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8-10 soft corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving, optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions (if using) and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add shredded chicken, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  5. 5

    Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
