Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- If you're making the enchilada sauce, make it now (don't worry it only takes 10 minutes!)
- In a skillet heat up the oil on medium-high heat and cook the onions until just softened. Add in the chicken (if uncooked) and cook until it is just a bit crispy.
- In a large bowl, mix the onions, chicken, green chiles, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of sour cream together.
- In a separate bowl, dip the flour tortillas completely into the enchilada sauce, then lay them flat in your baking dish, 2-3 at a time.
- Spoon on 1/2 cup of the filling into each tortilla and roll tightly leaving the seam side down.
- When all tortillas are done, carefully pour on the remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
- Bake the enchiladas covered for 20-25 minutes, then uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to crisp them up.
- Top with cilantro and green onions.
