Coat a tortilla on both sides with cooking spray. Lay it on a plate.
Spoon 3/4 cup of filling on one half of the tortilla. Fold tortilla in half over filling. Set it at one end of the baking dish. Repeat, placing filled tortillas so they overlap, filling baking dish tightly.
Pour pureed sauce over assembled enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining cheese over sauce. Cover pan with foil.
Bake enchiladas about 30 minutes, until they are heated through and tortillas are soft.
Uncover and serve garnished with cilantro.
