Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
  3. Add cooked shredded chicken, chicken broth, and green enchilada sauce to the skillet. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly fry each corn tortilla in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to keep them pliable.
  5. Combine sour cream with a tablespoon of enchilada sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
  6. Spread a small amount of the chicken mixture in a baking dish, then fill each tortilla, roll, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  7. Pour the remaining chicken mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let sit for a few minutes, drizzle with the sour cream mixture, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
