Chicken and Cheese Red Enchiladas

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb cooked shredded chicken breasts
  • 4 oz can mild diced green chilies
  • 6 8 inch flour tortillas
  • 15 oz can mild red enchilada sauce mild
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Optional
  • Sliced black olives
  • Sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Add shredded chicken and green chilis to the pan. Reduce heat to low.
  • Stir ¼ cup enchilada sauce and ¼ cup cheese into the pan. Heat until well combined.
  • Drizzle ¾ cup of the enchilada sauce into a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Spread to cover the bottom.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: on a dinner plate place one flour tortilla. Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture into the tortilla and spread into a line running down the middle of the tortilla, leaving an inch on each end.
  • Wrap the tortilla and place the seam side down into the prepared pan.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. The cheese should be melted and the edges of the tortillas barely crispy.
  • Optionally garnish with chopped cilantro, black olives, and sour cream
