Step 2 Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until pliable. Optionally, spray with cooking spray or lightly fry in vegetable oil (5-7 seconds per side) for a more traditional texture. Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Optional: Dip each tortilla in warmed enchilada sauce before filling (works best with lightly fried tortillas).

Step 3 Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
