Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

- In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese, the cooked shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, cumin, green chiles, and sautéed onion and garlic.

- Dip the tortillas in the warm enchilada sauce. Fill with 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down in the baking dish. Continue until all of the tortillas are rolled.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until the sauce begins to boil at the edges.
