8 - tortillas flour or corn tortillas
1 ½ cups - grated cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13" baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
If the tortillas are not pliable, heat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave. Place the tortillas on a work surface and divide the shredded chicken evenly between them. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon or so of enchilada sauce over the shredded chicken filling.
Roll the enchiladas up tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish.
Top the enchiladas with the remaining sauce and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has melted. Top with torn cilantro if desired and enjoy!
