Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced onion, 1 cup shredded cheese, sour cream, green chiles, cumin, and salt. Mix well.

3. 3

   Warm tortillas slightly (microwave or quick pan fry) to make them more pliable.

4. 4

   Place a portion of the chicken mixture (about 1/4 cup) down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

5. 5

   Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.

6. 6

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.

7. 7

   Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, optionally with additional sour cream or avocado.
