Recipe View 5 mins Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of diced green chilies to the chicken mixture.
If you don't have corn tortillas on hand, flour tortillas can be used as a substitute, but the texture will be slightly different.
To prevent the tortillas from tearing, avoid overfilling them with the chicken mixture.
Leftover enchiladas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Feel free to adjust the amount of green enchilada sauce to your preference. For a spicier dish, use a hot enchilada sauce.
