    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced onion, green chiles, cumin, and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce.

  3. 3

    Briefly heat the corn tortillas in a skillet with a little oil or in the microwave to make them pliable and prevent cracking.

  4. 4

    Dip each tortilla into the remaining enchilada sauce to coat both sides lightly.

  5. 5

    Place a generous portion of the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese in the center of each tortilla.

  6. 6

    Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  7. 7

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese.

  8. 8

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is completely melted and slightly golden.
