Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Make the filling:
   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion (if using) and cook until soft. Stir in chicken, green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in sour cream and ½ cup of the cheese.

3. Assemble:
   Spread about ½ cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
   Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture, roll it up, and place seam-side down.

4. Sauce & cheese:
   Pour remaining green enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.

5. Bake:
   Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.

6. Rest & serve:
   Let sit 5 minutes. Add toppings and devour.
