YUMMY! I am going to make these soon. I love enchiladas. The addition of pablanos is ~awesome~. I take it you add the tomatoes to the pablano mixture? Some Mexican creama, and some Kicked up Refried Beans and I'm good to go.

MMB~thanks for the heads-up. I was posting this @4:30 am. No the tomatoes go in when the chicken is added. I have corrected the recipe. I hope you enjoy them. ;^)

lynnda~these are a hit no matter who I've served them to. As you know, I rarely go by a recipe, once I've made the dish. This one I came up with after my s-i-l made some years ago. (I still don't think mine are as good as his, but he didn't use a recipe either.) 2 XMASes ago we decided to have a "Mexican Food Fiesta". I served these. They were gone in a flash! Everyone wanted the recipe, so the next time I made them, I paid attn to how much of what I made them with. Now my sister and several other people make these. I hope you enjoy them. Blondie xoxoxo
