Bill Clinton's Chicken Enchiladas

Mmmm. The former president's famous recipe for favorite enchiladas. *Note: I usually substitute flour tortillas and omit the dipping in oil, as that's our preference. I also add a couple of teaspoons of chili powder to the sauce and to the chicken filling mixture.*

Delicious, NPG! Used some Rotel tomatoes and added more green chillies. Easy to make; wonderful to eat. THX

    In spite of its namesake, we really did enjoy this dish this evening. So easy and uncomplicated. I used whole wheat tortillas, which worked out just fine. Thanks so much for sharing.
