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

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tortilla Technique 🌯Quickly warm corn tortillas in a hot skillet for 10-15 seconds per side to prevent cracking and improve flexibility when rolling enchiladas.
- Rotisserie Chicken Hack 🍗Shred rotisserie chicken while it's still warm to make the meat easier to pull apart and prevent drying out.
- Salsa Verde Pro Tip 🌶️For deeper flavor, briefly simmer the salsa verde before assembling enchiladas to concentrate its taste and reduce excess moisture.
- Cheese Melting Magic 🧀Use a blend of freshly shredded cheese and pre-shredded Mexican cheese blend for optimal melting and flavor complexity.
- Layering Perfection 🥘Create a thin layer of salsa verde on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent enchiladas from sticking and add extra moisture.
