Add 4-6 oz of sauce to the shredded hen and two massive handfuls of cheese. Stir to mix. That is your filling!

Warmth the tortillas. You need them to be smooth and pliable, in order that they don’t break as you fill them.

Place a ladle of sauce on the backside of every casserole dish and unfold round, so the underside is flippantly coated with sauce.

Seize one tortilla, and place the hen combination within the center seam, lengthwise. You need there to be a good quantity of hen and cheese combination in it, however make certain it isn’t *too full* to roll neatly. Roll it up and place within the pan. Proceed filling and rolling, till you’ve made 12-14 enchiladas.

Cowl every pan within the sauce, till there isn’t any uncovered tortilla edges. You may drench it a bit, it’s okay.

Cowl every pan in cheese and high with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes till bubbly.

You may broil the enchiladas for 2-4 minutes till the cheese is sweet and browned, too.

High with chopped inexperienced onion or cilantro, and serve!
