Creating Homemade Easy Chicken Enchiladas involves simple steps to guide you effortlessly through the process. Just follow these instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, ½ cup of shredded cheese, salsa, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
3. Prepare Tortillas: Slightly warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.

5. Pour Enchilada Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
6. Add More Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese (½ cup) on top of the sauce.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
