Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Hatch Chile Enchiladas
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients including shredded meat, tortillas, and sauce.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken or beef with roasted, chopped Hatch green chiles, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful filling.
- Warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stack them and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- On each warm tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture, roll it tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat until all filling is used.
- Pour green enchilada sauce generously over the top, ensuring all enchiladas are well coated.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sauced enchiladas and place in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, with edges slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to set before serving.
- Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro before serving.
