- Fill the tortilla with the chicken mix, roll up and place in a large rectangular glass baking dish. Continue filling up tortillas until you run out of filling or room in the dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top the enchiladas and break apart and sprinkle the cotija cheese on the enchiladas.
