Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cans red enchilada sauce 10 oz. per can
12 ounces cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup Mexican cheese shredded, for filling
12 soft corn tortillas standard 6-inch diameter
1 cup Mexican cheese shredded, for top
cilantro finely chopped, optional, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Place the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.
  • Place a few tortillas on a dinner plate and warm in the microwave until pliable, 20-30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of a tortilla. Gently roll the enchilada and place it seam-side down in the sauced casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
  • Cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Bake the enchiladas on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the foil and continue baking until edges are bubbling and cheese on top is slightly golden brown, 7-10 minutes.
  • Check to see that enchiladas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
  • Allow enchiladas to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
