  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 ounces Diced green chiles

  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup Diced white onion

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet and lightly fry each tortilla for 5-10 seconds per side to make them pliable.

  4. 4

    Dip a softened 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 the tortilla, then roll it tightly.

  6. 6

    Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the prepared baking dish and repeat for all tortillas.

  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 cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, then garnish with cilantro and onion before serving.
