  8. Now, let’s bake your enchiladas. Take a pan and pre-heat it to 148 C (300 F).  Put down your tortillas and top them with a layer of cheese, chicken and onions. As soon as the cheese starts melting, check the underside. It should be golden brown. Add one more layer of cheese above your chicken, cover it with another tortilla and flip.
