I wanted to make chicken enchiladas but couldn't find a recipe that I had the ingredients for. So, I made this up using what I had on hand. It is mildly spicy. Add more peppers/cayenne or hot sauce to liven it up a bit.

Due to amount of chicken sold in the market I make this twice a week and have been doing it for months (possibly over a year now). I double the seasoning salt cumin chili powder and cumin. I use Extra Sharp Cheddar (shredded off the block) instead of Pepper Jack cheese. I use a Large Anaheim Pepper and Large Jalapeno Pepper for each serving as well as some extra onion. I use Daisy Light Sour Cream instead of regular and always use Swanson Chicken Broth. For Pico De Gallo I seed 1 Large Jalapeno and 5 Large Roma Tomatoes and dice them up along with about Half a Medium Yellow Onion diced and about a Quarter Cup of diced Cilantro. I layer chips on the plate and put the mixture then Pico De Gallo then continue until all the mixture is gone. Read More

Have made this twice and loved it. Made it with only jalapeno and no other hot spices to make it more kid friendly. Was popular with the group I shared it with. Read More

I doubled the recipe and made this dish for my family for dinner and my son loved it - even went back for 3rds. Also made for a potluck at work and several people asked for the recipe. I made no changes to the recipe and it was perfectly seasoned! Read More
