Creating enchiladas is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Filling:
– For chicken enchiladas: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent. Add shredded chicken, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix until combined and heated through.
– For beef enchiladas: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent. Then, add cooked ground beef, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix until heated through.
– For cheese enchiladas: In a bowl, mix shredded cheese with cumin and garlic powder.

3. Warm Tortillas: Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

4. Assemble Enchiladas:
– Spoon the filling (chicken, beef, or cheese) into the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

5. Top with Sauce: Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and cheese is melted.

7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or avocado if desired.

8. Slice: Cut into pieces for serving.
