Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
Soften the tortillas in the microwave by placing them on a paper towel covered plate and then plastic wrap on top.
Microwave on high for 1 - ½ minutes, depending on how many tortillas you are softening at once.
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
Fill each tortilla with about ¼-1/3 cup of chicken mixture and roll up, placing seam side down into the pan.
Pour 1 cup of enchilada sauce over the top and the remaining cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
Remove foil and bake for about 5 minutes more or until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown. May serve with additional sauce if desired.
