Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the green salsa and sour cream, mixing until smooth. This will be your creamy green sauce.
- Take a corn tortilla and spread a spoonful of the green salsa mixture on it. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on top and roll the tortilla tightly. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
- Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the remaining green salsa mixture over the top of the enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
