To prepare chicken enchiladas, simply warm the green chile sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until it is bubbling. While the sauce heats, prepare your enchilada filling, typically involving cooked chicken and cheese. Dip corn tortillas briefly in the warm sauce to soften them, then fill with the chicken mixture and roll them up. Place the rolled enchiladas in a baking dish, cover them generously with the remaining sauce, and top with more cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
