Use fresh boneless skinless breasts sliced and grilled or sauted then add the cooked chicken strips to the inside of Enchiladas with the cheese, then continue. Spice the raw chicken with cumin and or garlic, chili pepper before cooking!

This was so good! My guests raved about them. I used queso blanco cheese, and the rich sauce complimented it very well. Thank you!
