Step 1
Remove stems and seeds from dried chiles. Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2
Place toasted chiles and garlic in a blender with chicken broth, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Step 3
Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chile skin pieces. Set aside.
Step 4
Mix shredded chicken with sour cream, green onions, and salt in a bowl.
Step 5
Warm tortillas in a skillet to make them pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 7
Fill each tortilla with 3 tablespoons chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Step 8
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Top with shredded cheese and diced onion.
Step 9
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
