quick & healthy chicken enchiladas
This was a favorite enchilada recipe for one of my grandsons when he was still growing up. He's grown now and still loves them. These enchiladas are good......but they're also fun. You pick whether you want them rolled in the traditional fashion or if you want them layered. Simple and good either way.
