A great way to use leftover chicken. Even kids love these! Ole
"This recipe was straightforward, fast, easy, and surprisingly good. Even though it is quite tasty as is, the recipe can easily be spiced up for even more flavor. Next time I'm going to use corn tortillas and add some heat by using a couple fresh (seeded and chopped) serrano or jalapeño chiles in the sauce as the canned chilies are a bit too mild on their own for our taste. I will also probably add a half teaspoon of cumin and a teaspoon or two of chili powder. A half cup of enchilada sauce, salsa or maybe Rotel Tomatoes with Chiles would also make a good addition." - sgrishkaYield: 6 Ready in 45 minutes
