Directions
Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas, Believe me, I am not much of Mexican food eater But this dish is fantastic! And it may be because it doesn’t have a lot of the authentic ingredients that a lot of other enchiladas do But, every time I serve them, I get rave reviews!, I am a new to cooking for myself and I almost doubted that this would taste good, but it was so delicious and had an authentic taste to it The kind of experience you would get from your little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant Excellent and easy to make I followed pretty closely except for the red peppers since my husband does not like vegetables in his food So used a little cilantro and some scallions I was conservative because I did not want to mess the taste up used a Mexican brand red sauce out of the can and the half and half I questioned that but there was no need, it made it so good and added to the authenticity especially using the corn tortillas! I can add black olives and serve with sour cream next time! I can also make a ton of this in advance, freeze and enjoy throughout the month Also would make a great potluck item Thanks to the contributer I am so pleased!
