Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheese Tortillas

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

For each tortilla, combine approximately ¼ cup of mozzarella and ¼ cup of cheddar cheese and spread into a 6-inch circle.

Bake for 5-7 minutes until melted and lightly golden around the edges.

Allow the cheese rounds to cool for about 1 minute. They should be flexible enough to roll but still warm.

Repeat until you have 8 cheese tortillas.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine:

* Shredded chicken

* Garlic powder

* Onion powder

* Chili powder

* Cumin

* Black pepper

* Monterey Jack cheese

Mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine:

* Tomato sauce

* Olive oil

* Chili powder

* Cumin

* Garlic powder

* Onion powder

* Water

Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Enchiladas

Place a spoonful of chicken filling onto each cheese tortilla.

Roll carefully and place seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.

Continue until all enchiladas are assembled.

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top.

Sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 15-20 minutes until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden.

Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
