Ingredients:
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 piece onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- to taste fresh cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

- Stir in 1 cup of enchilada sauce and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and mix in shredded chicken and 1 cup of cheese.
- In the oven, heat the tortillas in a covered dish until soft. Then, spoon the chicken mixture into the middle of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place in a baking dish seam-side down.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
