1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

6. Warm the corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds, until they become pliable.
7. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly between the tortillas, rolling them tightly and placing them seam-side down in the baking dish.
8. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are fully covered.
9. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top.
10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the enchiladas are hot and bubbly.
12. Serve the Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas warm with extra cilantro and a side of sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
