  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4.
  2. In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, approximately 3 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken breast pieces to the pan. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the sour cream, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  5. Divide the chicken mixture between the two tortillas, placing it in a line down the centre of each. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place them seam-side down in a small baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
  7. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken enchiladas warm!
