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!

A little different version of a family favorite. Whenever we grill or smoke chicken I always request that my husband do a little extra, so that there is enough to make chicken enchiladas the next night.
