   • In a saucepan, combine the white sauce, mild green chilies, and 1/3 cup of minced onion.

   • Drain the softened tortillas on paper towels to remove excess oil.

4. Assemble the Enchiladas:

   • Place a portion of the cheese mixture onto each softened tortilla, reserving some for the topping.
   • Roll up the tortillas with the cheese mixture inside and place them seam-side down in a large, flat, ungreased baking dish.

5. Top and Bake:

   • Pour the prepared Green Chile Sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
   • Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture over the top of the enchiladas.
   • Broil the enchiladas in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and the dish is hot throughout.
