Intro:

Chicken enchiladas are delicious and easy to make, making them the perfect dish for any night of the week. This recipe will showcase the best method for making flavorful, cheesy, and satisfying chicken enchiladas that your friends and family will love.

Ingredients:

– 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

– 1 medium onion, chopped

– 1 teaspoon minced garlic

– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

– 15 corn tortillas or small flour tortillas

– 3 cups shredded cheese (a mixture of cheddar and Monterey Jack)

– 2 cans (10 ounces each) enchilada sauce

– 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2. In a medium skillet, heat about a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about four minutes.

3. Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another minute or until fragrant.

4. Stir in one can of enchilada sauce, shredded chicken, and chopped cilantro until thoroughly mixed. Remove from heat.

5. Warm the tortillas on both sides using a dry skillet or your microwave until they are pliable. Be careful not to overheat as they will become difficult to roll.

6. Spread half of the remaining enchilada sauce in a baking dish large enough to hold about 15 enchiladas in one layer.

7. Assemble each enchilada by placing approximately two tablespoons of chicken mixture onto a tortilla, followed by a small handful of shredded cheese. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

8. Pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce evenly over all the rolled-up tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

10. Remove from the oven and let your chicken enchiladas cool for a few minutes. Serve them topped with a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices.
