This is a creamy enchilada recipe that is mildly spiced. No Scotch Bonnets or even jalapenos here. It's quick to make and great for a week night or lazy weekend.

    Coat baking pan with cooking spray.
  • 4
    Scoop a heaping spoonful of chicken mixture onto tortilla, roll and place into pan with seam side down, repeat until all of the filling is used.

  • 6
    Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of enchiladas and bake at 350 uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
