over the the Internet and they always seem to have
enchiladas (cheese, beef or chicken) as one of the
favorite foods (so with that in mind) here is a easier
enchilada recipe that DOES NOT TAKE AS MUCH
TIME as most do. That's because it's LAYERED
instead of individually stuffed & rolled.
Last week I made beef enchiladas for some
neighbors & had not done it in along time...
As I started making the beef filling & frying up
each tortilla I started remembering why I don't
make them very often..IT TOOK MOST OF THE
DAY!!!!My neighbor told me how much he loved
them... My husband raved about them too..so I'm
happy I made them..
However, I wanted to try a faster way with chicken
I needed to use up. (Remember my New Year's
Resolution..(use up what you have) I combined
an old family recipe & came up with this chicken
& cheese enchilada recipe which took me 25 min.
(if you have your meat already cooked) plus 25 min.
in the oven. You could also easily exchange the
chicken for a beef mixture..That would taste
great, too.
RECIPE

2 c. chicken (cooked & chopped)
Enchilada Sauce (or you can use store bought)
1 (14.5) oz can diced tomatoes
