HEARTY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Hearty Chicken Enchiladas image

This recipe came about as a result of my being unable to find a recipe for chicken enchiladas that had EVERYTHING in it that we like. So I created my own. The chicken mixture is nice and creamy and the "spiciness" can be adjusted to individual tastes.
