Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Top and Serve
Carefully remove from the microwave and let rest for one minute. Dollop sour cream over the top and serve immediately.
