Instructions
 

  • To assemble: take a corn tortilla and dip it in Enchilada sauce. Add ~1/4 cup chicken filling and roll up. Place in 13x9 baking dish. Repeat until the filling is used up (I end up using 2 bake dishes). Top the enchiladas with the remaining sauce and all of cheese.
  • Bake at 350 until heated through and bubbly (~30 min).

Notes

Traditionally, tortillas are fried in oil first so they don't fall apart when you make the enchiladas. I don't do that - What I do is take the corn tortillas and, one by one, spray with cooking spray and very lightly toast them in a nonstick frying pan. Another trick I do is spray them with cooking spray, then stick them under the broiler on a large cookie sheet for a 1 min per side. You can skip this step in the interest of time; however, the corn tortillas will fall apart a bit while cooking if you do - still delicious, but it does happen and it will just be more like a chicken enchilada casserole.
