Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking dish and set up your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chilies, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sour cream, minced garlic, and shredded cheese. Stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour a thin layer of the sauce into the bottom of your baking dish.
  5. Warm the tortillas slightly. Place a generous amount of the chicken filling in each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the remaining sauce generously over the top of the enchiladas.
  7. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  9. Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.
