Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Spread 1/2 cup of green enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
