Made these tonight because I had the unique problem of having both cooked chicken and part of a steak to use. So I mixed the meats together, made per the instructions (using a tad more tomato sauce to keep everything together!) and YUM! If I was using only chicken, I'd use a different recipe - but I prefer non-tomato chicken enchiladas. For a mixture or beef - this is the BOMB!

    I added a little more onion, salt, and a can of green chilis. I also used flour tortillas because that is what I had on hand. They turned out great, especially with frying them a little which kept them crispy. My husband polished off the leftovers and wanted more!

    I made the beef ones and there were hardly any leftovers. My DS and DH ate almost all of them in one sitting. These were easy to make. I used 2 10 ounce cans of enchilada sauce and came out perfect. Next time I will try the chicken. Thanks for an easy and simple recipe.
