Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions until they're translucent. Add the cooked chicken, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.

In a separate bowl, combine the sautéed chicken mixture with ½ cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Take a tortilla and spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.

Once all the enchiladas are assembled in the baking dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauce.

Bake the enchiladas uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish the enchiladas with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of sour cream. Chicken enchiladas are a popular dish for meal prep and freezing, making them a convenient choice for busy families.

For an enhanced flavor experience, consider making your enchilada sauce from scratch using tomatoes, garlic, and spices.

You can also customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of chili powder or adding diced jalapeños.

If you want to prepare ahead, the chicken mixture and sauce can be made in advance, allowing for quicker assembly when you're ready to bake.

Enjoy your delicious chicken cheese enchiladas!
