Method

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Shred cooked chicken and mix with diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

2

Warm enchilada sauce in a shallow dish. Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet.

3

Dip each flour tortilla into warm oil for 1–2 seconds to soften.

4

Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the 9×13 baking dish.

5

Dip each softened tortilla into enchilada sauce, place on a plate, fill with 3–4 tbsp chicken filling and 1 tbsp cheese, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

6

Repeat with remaining tortillas, arranging them snug in a single layer.

7

Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

8

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake 5 minutes more until sauce bubbles at edges and cheese melts.

9

Top with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream or crema on the side.
