Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, roasted and chopped Hatch chiles, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  4. Take a warmed tortilla and place a generous amount of the filling in the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro before serving.
