In a 9"x13" pan, place all the tortillas side-by-side and fill with chicken mixture. Pour sauce in each tortillas before closing them. Pour the remaining sauce over the closed enchiladas. Spread cheese.

Cook for approximately ten minutes or until cheese colorizes. Serve with sour cream and chili powder.
