Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the chicken until fully cooked through, boiling for 15-20 minutes or baking at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Shred into bite-sized pieces.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken, cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes to meld flavors.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour a small amount of red enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Fill each tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, rolling tightly and placing seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Ensure each enchilada is well-coated.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow the enchiladas to rest before serving, garnishing with chopped cilantro and serving with sour cream.

Notes
Using fresh ingredients and allowing the dish to rest improves flavor and texture. Customize spice levels as desired.
