In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Spread a thin layer of green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Step 7
Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro before serving.
