  3. In a bowl, mix roasted chiles with half of the cheese, onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. Pour green chile sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Serving

  2. You can garnish them with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños for extra taste.
  3. Pair them with a simple side salad or some Mexican rice to complete the meal.

Notes

Choose flavorful and ripe green chiles for the best taste. Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent them from breaking. Feel free to adjust the cheese based on your preference; you can even mix in some pepper jack for a spicy kick.
