"I was looking for a different way to prepare fish and since we were all craving Mexican food, I thought I'd try doing fish in enchiladas. Turned out great."

Arrange fish on the sauce, cover with one half the cheese. Drizzle enchilada sauce over the cheese and put 1/2 can of the chiles on the sauce. Lay 6 corn tortillas over the top, drizzle with more green sauce and the remaining chiles. Top with the rest of the cheese.
5. Bake in 350 degree over for twenty minutes or until cheese is melted and a nice golden color. Remove from oven and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
