  • For a vegetarian version of these enchiladas, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables, such as diced zucchini, bell peppers, or corn.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of tomato sauce, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of oregano in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until thickened.
