Ingredients:

8 flour tortillas

cooking spray

2 c shredded cheddar jack cheese

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 c enchilada sauce

½ c fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

ground black pepper

salt

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.

Place a deep skillet on the stove, then add enchilada sauce and minced garlic. Turn the heat to medium and allow the mixture to boil.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts, then toss until well coated.

Place the chicken breasts over the sauce.

Turn the heat down to low, then cover the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 20 minutes or until done.

Transfer the chicken onto a clean plate, then use two forks to shred them into small pieces.

Apply cooking spray to a 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, 1 cup cheese, and ¾ cup of enchilada sauce. Stir until well mixed.

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Fill each tortilla with ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture, then roll each.

Arrange them seam-side down, into a baking dish.

Brush with olive oil over each tortilla.

Bake the tortillas for about 8 to 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Pour the rest of the sauce on top of the tortillas and sprinkle cheese. Cover with foil, then bake for another 20 minutes over 400 degrees F.

Remove the cover and bake for 5 more minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes at room temperature.

Serve warm with sour cream or salsa. Enjoy!
