Chicken Enchiladas

Chicken Enchiladas are a Mexican dish consisting of tortillas filled with chicken, which are then rolled and topped with sauce (often red, tomato-based, or green, made from green chilies). Afterward, the enchiladas are baked in the oven and garnished with grated cheese, tomato sauce, onions, and cilantro. This dish is highly versatile, as it can be made with various fillings, not just chicken, but also cheese, beef, beans, or vegetables. The sauces can range from red to green, depending on preferences.
