Preparation

  1. Oil your 15x10-inch baking dish, anak. Make sure it's deep enough — these enchiladas need room.

  2. Mix your chicken, onion, corn, sour cream, cilantro, cumin, and 1 cup of that cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper — taste it, ha, don't just dump.

  3. In another bowl, mix the salsa and enchilada sauce together. This is your sauce mixture — keep it close.

  4. 10 secs

    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for about 10 seconds each side. They need to be soft so they won't crack when you roll. (Don't skip this step — cold tortillas will break and make you cry)

  5. Brush each warmed tortilla with some sauce mixture. Put about 1/3 cup filling in the center, roll it tight, and place seam-side down in your baking dish.

  6. Keep going until all your tortillas are filled and rolled. Naku, this takes patience but it's worth it.

  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spoon the rest of your sauce over all the enchiladas — they should be well covered.

  8. 35 mins

    Sprinkle that remaining cup of cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes until everything is bubbling and heated through.
