Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spoon about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Place the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.

Place a few tortillas on a dinner plate and warm in the microwave until pliable, 20-30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of a tortilla. Gently roll the enchilada and place it seam-side down in the sauced casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.

Cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
