Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, salsa verde, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll them up tightly.

  5. 5

    Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa verde over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
