Recipe View Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

For a spicier kick, use a hotter green chile salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them slightly in a dry skillet before frying. This will make them more pliable.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency before using.
These enchiladas are best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
