Bill Clinton's Chicken Enchiladas image

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.*

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably cut back on the chili powder next time.

I had some trouble rolling the enchiladas, but they still tasted great. I'll definitely practice more so I can get them perfect next time.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I've made these enchiladas several times and they're always a hit. The sauce is so flavorful and the chicken is always moist and tender.

These enchiladas are so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love that I can use rotisserie chicken to make them even easier.
