Ingredients:
– 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
– 2 cups red enchilada sauce
– 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
– 1/2 cup chopped onion
– 12 corn tortillas
– 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 ripe avocado, sliced
– 1 lime, cut into wedges
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them more pliable.
5. Spread about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
6. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of cheese in the center of each tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, making sure they are fully covered.
8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
11. Garnish with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, and lime wedges.
