  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 (10-oz.) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (8-oz.) can crushed tomatoes

  • 2 c. shredded monterey jack, divided

Add enchilada sauce and crushed tomatoes and cook until warmed through, 5 minutes. Set ½ cup of this mixture aside for topping the enchiladas.

Add a small scoop of the chicken mixture in the center of 1 tortilla, then roll up and place in skillet or baking dish seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
