5 CAN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
A quick, very easy, low clean up way to make enchiladas. I adapted this from a few other recipes. We prefer flour tortillas but you can use corn. Corn does work better if they are warm, so putting them in the microwave for 30-40 seconds makes them more pliable. You can always substitute fresh cooked ground beef, turkey or chicken for the canned meat.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings: You can use any type of filling you like in your enchiladas. Try using black beans, sweet potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
- Make sure the enchiladas are completely covered in sauce: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.

- Serve the enchiladas immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
