How to Make Enchiladas Perfectos Del Pollo Perfect Chicken Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken breast in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once browned, add the chicken broth, taco seasoning, and chili powder. Simmer until chicken is cooked through (about 10 minutes). Shred the chicken with two forks.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the enchilada sauce, cumin, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Warm tortillas: Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until pliable. Alternatively, heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side.
  5. Assemble enchiladas: Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sour cream (optional).
