Notes: 1.
-
15
To make the corn tortillas very pliable and easy to fold without cracking, set oven to 300 F. Spread 6 of the tortillas on a large baking sheet.
-
16
Spray both sides lightly with olive oil cooking spray, or put a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a small dish, dip your fingers into the oil, and rub both sides of each tortilla with a thin coating.
-
17
Bake the tortillas for 4 minutes in the upper third of the oven.
-
18
After filling and rolling the first half of the tortillas, repeat with remaining tortillas.
-
19
The process is a little tedious, but its well worth saving the frustration of all your tortillas breaking in half.

On veggie substitutes: If you use potatoes or other root vegetables or winter squash instead of chicken, you should pre-cook them using a method of your choice.
-
22
Using them raw and cooking them inside of the enchiladas may not be sufficient to cook the pieces through, depending on the size of your dice.
-
23
Soft vegetables such as summer squash, bell peppers, and onions should not require pre-cooking.
