Chicken Tomatillo Enchiladas

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Tacos, Burritos and Enchiladas

This is a very flavorful Southwestern dish. It is good for kids as well, as it is high on flavor, but low on the spicy heat. If you like your enchiladas spicier, feel free to add extra jalapeno peppers into the chicken mixture. Enjoy!
