CHEESY & CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Cheesy & Creamy Chicken Enchiladas image

Hearty, Creamy and Cheesy Goodness! I love this dish but one thing that I omit myself from using is corn tortillas. I don't like the grainy taste of them when I make enchiladas, so I use flour tortillas instead. I add mushrooms but you can easily omit that. This recipes is also good if you would like to do a seafood version. ...

I adapted this from a recipe I saw on TV many years ago, which used egg and sour cream as the filling. This is a big family favourite, which is easily adapted by adjusting the heat of the enchilada sauce (I like to use Texas Red Enchilada Sauce #42094)
