Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F. Stir 3 cups shredded cooked chicken with ½ cup red or green enchilada sauce, ½ cup shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons minced onion, ½ teaspoon cumin, and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Warm 10 corn tortillas in a damp towel in the microwave for 45–60 seconds, until bendable. Spread ½ cup enchilada sauce in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  3. 3

    Spoon about ⅓ cup filling down the center of each tortilla, roll snugly, and place seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolls and scatter 1½ cups cheese across the top.

  4. 4

    Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 8–12 minutes more, until the sauce bubbles at the edges and the cheese has browned in spots. Rest 5 minutes before serving with cilantro and lime.
