Expert Tips

Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe. Just remove the skin and bones, and shred the meat with 2 forks. One average rotisserie chicken yields about 3 1/2 to 4 cups cooked chicken.

Red enchilada sauce can be used. It will give a pink tint to the finished recipe.

You could serve this recipe with tortilla chips as an appetizer.

Absolutely Great. I usually make traditional enchiladas as that is what I grew up on. I made this and it was a big hit. I did also make minor changes. I used Bueno Autumn roast chopped chili from the freezer department and I boiled chicken and shredded it and low fat cheese and cream cheese.

The flavor was very good but I think it would be better baked in the oven. I thought the tortillas were too mushy.

Maybe you could use unsalted corn chips that are crispy to start with. Or fry the 12 corn tortillas before using in the recipe. This sounds so good to me. I can't wait to make it.

I would add a can of mexican corn instead of or in addition to the beans.

This is a good recipe, but it doesn't take near 6 hours to cook. Maybe 3, but the tortillas come out too soft it its cooked too long. But otherwise the dish has a great flavor!
