We loved these easy chicken enchiladas. The recipe is simple enough to follow without too many added ingredients. Adjust the taco seasoning to suit your taste buds. Once baked, the chicken enchiladas are moist and flavorful with ooey gooey cheese on top. The flavor of these enchiladas was all that we could hope for. Try with corn tortillas too.

Steps:
- Turn on a skillet to med-med high heat. Spray with non-stick spray.
- Brown chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Then add a minced clove of garlic, tomatoes and chiles (with juice), taco seasoning, and cilantro. Cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and juice reduces.
- Turn off the heat and shred the chicken. (I leave it in the pan, saves a dish, and keeps it warm.)

SUPER EASY AND YUMMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
My sister Shawn is famous for these enchiladas, and her husband Rob makes the killer margaritas to match. My husband and I like them with Sangria. It's the ideal entree for dinner guests because it can be completely prepared in advance. You can substitute whatever meat you have...ground chicken or turkey, steak, shredded pork, Krab, etc. as well as any creamed soups. I was even out of sour cream and substituted fat free cottage cheese which worked fine. Be creative and please share your ideas here!

- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your enchiladas the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Shred the chicken: Shredding the chicken will help it to distribute evenly throughout the enchiladas. You can shred the chicken by hand or with a fork.
- Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is one of the most important parts of the dish. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of spices.
- Don't overfill the enchiladas: Overfilling the enchiladas will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart.
- Bake the enchiladas until they are hot and bubbly: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are cooked through.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro.
