Another keeper, so flavorful! I did add a can of diced fire roasted tomatoes to the chicken mixture, it added flavor, color & about 4 more enchiladas. To get the corn tortillas to roll w/o breaking, I sprayed the tort. with olive oil and heated it up on a dry cast iron skillet for a minute flipping every 30 seconds. I paired this recipe up with the black bean salad. I portioned out the leftovers for my lunch the next 2 days. I'm a happy camper! :o)
