Instructions
- 11. Preheat oven to 375°F. Warm tortillas between damp paper towels for 45 seconds to make pliable.

- 33. Combine shredded chicken, sautéed onions, half the green onions, roasted poblanos, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- 44. Warm tortillas and fill each with chicken mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- 55. Whisk enchilada sauce with heavy cream. Pour evenly over rolled enchiladas, ensuring complete coverage.
