Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, and salt; mix well.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the green enchilada sauce and evaporated milk until smooth.
  4. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Quickly fry each corn tortilla for 10-15 seconds per side until pliable and slightly browned; drain on paper towels.
  6. Dip each warmed tortilla briefly into the enchilada sauce mixture, coating both sides.
  7. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and fill with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture.
  8. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  9. Repeat with remaining tortillas, arranging them snugly in the dish.
  10. Pour the remaining sauce mixture evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  11. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  13. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the enchiladas to set.
