I was just about to post this as one of our family's all-time favorite recipes. The only difference with my recipe is that I use a good chicken broth instead of water and bullion. I think using a good broth makes a world of difference on this recipe. I just boil my chicken for this recipe and use the broth I cooked the chicken in. YUMMMMM!!!! The other thing I do is dip each tortilla in the sauce before adding the chicken, cheese, chilies and cumin. The tortillas turn out WONDERFUL this way. A true family favorite, and a great OAMC recipe. I always make a double batch and seperate it into 3 pans- 1 to eat and 2 for the freezer. These are REALLY great enchiladas!
