Step 3

Add 1/3 of the jar of salsa verde and half the cheese and mix it all together until it's evenly distributed.

Step 4

Spray a casserole pan with cooking spray or olive oil. If you are using corn tortillas, get them wet on both sides so they roll easily. If you skip this step your tortillas will crack and your enchiladas will be messy! You don't need to do this if using flour or wheat tortillas.

Step 5

Lay the tortilla flat on a clean plate and put some of the chicken mix on top, in a line lengthwise from top to bottom. Roll it up and lay it in the pan, seam side down

Step 6

Do the same across the pan in a line until the pan it full.

Step 7

Cover the enchiladas with the remaining salsa and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 F.
