Chicken Enchiladas

Submitted by Mishy111

"Chicken Enchiladas made with flour tortillas. I adapted this recipe from another recipe on Recipezaar, and made my own changes that suit my taste and budget. The original recipe calls for corn tortillas but I prefer flour. Plus the original recipe calls for cilantro, cheddar and monterey jack cheeses."
