Using a griddle, your oven, or the microwave, warm up the tortillas. Dip a tortilla around in a little of the sauce in the baking dish so that the bottom is all coated. Fill the tortilla with a couple spoonfuls of filling, then roll it up and set it seam-side down in the dish. Keep going until you run out of space or out of filling.
Cover the enchiladas with the remaining sauce and top with cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with foil, and throw it in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Take off the foil and cook it for 5 more minutes. Let it cool for a minute or two before serving. Top with green onions, cilantro, and avocado.
