Instructions
1
Saut Onions and Mix
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix the sour cream and salsa until smooth and combined. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 to 5 minutes until the onions are just tender. Stir in the cooked chicken, half of the sour cream mixture, chopped chiles, and half a cup of cheese.

Assemble and Bake Enchiladas
Spoon about a third of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll them up. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish that’s been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Pour the remaining sour cream sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Cover the dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until everything is hot and bubbly.
