Directions

  1. Completely wrap all corn tortillas in damp paper towels. Warm them in the microwave until they bend easily.
  2. Fill tortillas with a good amount of cheese and a small amount of the following: chicken, onions, and chilies.
  3. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place in greased 9 X 13 pan. Pour 1 can of green enchilada sauce over the top.
  4. Sprinkle with some cheese.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 30 to 45 minutes.
  6. The dish should be bubbling and heated through.
  7. This recipes usually makes 2- 9 X 13 pans and 1- 9 X 9 pan. I freeze the other two pans without the sauce on top and cook at a later time. This is great for entertaining or giving a meal to another family. Serve with Mexican or Spanish rice.
