Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas

Submitted by RecipeLove

"I found this recipe in a recent issue of Kraft magazine and loved it. I typed it out as is but when I made it I used the Costco canned chicken and couldnt tell the difference! Plus I always end up using more grated cheese than whats called for. I also doubled it so there would behalf left over for lunch the next day. Next time I'll add spanish rice and refried beans as side dishes."

I made this recipe for dinner tonight and the enchiladas were great! I used fat free cream cheese and sour cream to reduce the calories and fat, but the dish was still excellent and I will be making this again. Thanx for sharing!

These were amazing. The flavor was spectacular. I loved the creameyness of the chicken. I think this would be great with some fresh cilantro and green onions. Thanx for sharing
