Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-mixed.
  3. Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  4. Lay one tortilla flat, spoon about ⅓ cup of the filling down the center, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle any leftover cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
