Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
Step 3
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through.
Step 4
Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or on a griddle for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Step 5
Take a tortilla, spoon some of the chicken mixture onto it, and roll it up tightly. Place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 6
Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 10
Garnish your enchiladas with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
