Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts

- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 onion
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Shred the chicken breasts and combine them with chili powder in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, mix the soup, sour cream, and Rotel tomatoes & chilies. Heat slowly over medium heat, stirring often, until well combined and heated through.
-
Prepare the Tortillas:
- In a separate skillet, wilt the corn tortillas in vegetable oil. Once softened, remove and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
-
Assemble the Enchiladas:
- Take each tortilla and place a small amount of the soup mixture, chicken mixture, shredded cheese, and chopped onion onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in a casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
-
Bake:
- Once all the enchiladas are assembled in the dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese and chopped onions.
-
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 30-40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
