Ingredients

  • ½ cup onions finely chopped
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 4 oz can green chiles
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese shredded
  • 1 large can enchilada sauce
  • 14 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl add your onion, green chiles, shredded chicken, half of the Monterey jack cheese and half of the cheddar cheese.
  3. Place a few spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a large baking dish.
  4. Empty the rest of the enchilada sauce in a shallow bowl large enough to fit one tortilla.
  5. Wrap your tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 ½ minutes.
  6. One at a time, dip your tortillas into the enchilada sauce and make sure it covers the whole thing. You can wipe off the extra sauce back into the bowl.

  8. Repeat with the rest of the enchiladas.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
