The Absolute Best Chicken Enchilada Recipe You'll Ever Try... image

I came across this recipe about three years ago on TOH's website. It originally called for 10 flour tortillas (6 inches), but I found my alteration to the recipe to be much better. I have also substituted on occasion pintos for black beans, and used Pace Picante sauce instead of the salsa. This recipe has become a staple at my house.

I love enchiladas, and these were some of the best I've ever had. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas were okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a little bland. I wouldn't make these again.
