Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread about ½ cup of the green chile sauce across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Take a tortilla, add a generous spoonful of chicken filling in the center, and roll it tightly.
- Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas until the dish is filled.
Step 4: Cover with Sauce and Cheese
- Pour the remaining green chile sauce evenly over the enchiladas, making sure they’re fully coated.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve alongside Mexican rice, refried beans, or a crisp avocado salad.
- For added spice, drizzle with hot sauce or top with fresh jalapeño slices.

Mexican Green Chile, Chicken, and Cheese Enchiladas are a flavorful twist on a classic comfort dish.
