Ingredients
- 10 corn tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (or you can use cheese for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup green enchilada sauce
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 1 diced onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and heated through.
- Warm the tortillas in a microwave or on the stove until they are flexible. This will make them easier to roll.
- For each tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Once all tortillas are rolled and placed in the baking dish, pour the green enchilada sauce over half of the enchiladas and the red enchilada sauce over the other half.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the enchiladas, covering them evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro on top.
