Directions
-
Heat the cooking oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
-
Add the grated onion and crushed garlic to the pan.
-
Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion becomes clear and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Pour in the can of tomato sauce and stir to combine with the onion mixture.
-
Let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes to meld the flavors, then set aside to keep warm.
-
Prepare your corn tortillas by briefly immersing each one in hot oil (about half-inch deep) for thirty seconds, turning once, to make them pliable but not crisp.
-
Remove the softened tortillas and place them on a clean surface.
-
Place pieces of shredded cooked chicken breast and some cut-up green chiles onto the center of each tortilla.
-
Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them on serving plates with the folded side down.
-
Spoon the hot tomato sauce generously over the rolled enchiladas.
-
Top each enchilada with a dollop of sour cream and serve immediately.
