Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 oz diced green chilies
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your enchilada sauce or open your store-bought sauce. Shred the cooked chicken.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the diced green chilies and ¾ cup of shredded Mexican cheese to the chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or a dry skillet until pliable.
  • Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Fill each warmed tortilla with about ½ cup of the chicken mixture. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well-covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1 ¾ cups of shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
