Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray 9x13" glass dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread about 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together shredded chicken, taco seasoning, 2/3 of the shredded cheese and the salsa.
Prepare corn tortillas, about 5 at a time, in between a damp paper towel and in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This will keep them from cracking when you roll them.
Fill corn tortillas evenly with chicken/cheese filling, and roll and place into baking dish. Pour remaining red enchilada sauce over top the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese + more as desired. Bake covered with foil* for 30 minutes or until hot and melty.
Top with any desired toppings and serve.
Notes
*spray foil with nonstick cooking spray before covering pan of enchiladas to prevent cheese from sticking.Photos by Sasha at Eat Love Eats.
