Instructions

Creating the Ultimate Quick and Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the cooked shredded chicken with chopped onion, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Combine well to evenly distribute the spices.
3. Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a pan for a few seconds on each side, or microwave them for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon a portion of the chicken mixture down the center, and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5. Arrange in Dish: Pour a little enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Then, place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.
6. Top with Sauce: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, ensuring they are well coated.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
10. Serve: Serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired, and enjoy your amazing chicken enchiladas!
