– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce

Instructions

Creating the Ultimate Quick and Easy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe for Dinner is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Sauté Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onions and sauté until they’re translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In the same skillet, add the shredded chicken, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and heated through.
4. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds, making them pliable and easy to roll.
5. Assemble the Enchiladas: Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Scoop about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then roll them up and place seam-side down in the dish.
6. Pour Sauce Over Enchiladas: Once all tortillas are in place, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, ensuring they are well coated.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle additional cheese over the top of the enchiladas for that melty goodness.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
9. Let Rest: Once removed from the oven, allow the enchiladas to sit for a few minutes before serving.

These step-by-step instructions will guide you to creating mouth-watering enchiladas that your family will crave again and again!
