Instructions

1

Fill and Roll

Divide the shredded chicken evenly among the four tortillas, placing the chicken in the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a microwave-safe dish.

2

Add Sauce and Cheese

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure all surfaces are coated. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend generously over the top.

3

Microwave Until Melted

Cover the dish loosely with a microwave-safe lid or damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the filling is heated through.
