Stir together half of the sauce with the chicken, 1 chopped avocado, green onions and half of the cheese.
Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with some of the sauce; wrap the chicken and avocado mixture in the tortillas; place tortillas in the dish. Spread the remaining sauce on top of the enchiladas.

**If you warm the corn tortillas one at a time for about 8 seconds just till they are pliable, they are easier to fill and roll.
