Preparation Steps

  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in shredded chicken, chicken broth, and green enchilada sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly fry each corn tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with a tablespoon of green enchilada sauce for the topping.
  6. Spread a layer of chicken filling in a baking dish, fill each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  7. Pour remaining chicken mixture over enchiladas, sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Serve slightly cooled, topped with the creamy sauce and chopped cilantro.
