We love this! I used corn tortilla's, sliced and layered on the top and bottom because my husband is allergic to wheat. I also used Kittencal's sauce. The last time I made it I added finely shredded spinach because it's an easy way to get my family to eat it, they don't even notice it's in there! Thanks so much for sharing. Freezes well too.

This gets 5 stars for the simplicity of putting this together. Of course to be fair...I omitted a bunch of ingredients per family's preference. Corn, green chili's, onion, black olives. So, pretty much chicken (that was the meat of choice for these enchilada's), sourcream, cheese, tortilla strips, and enchilada sauce. (red). Served with some soft-shell chicken tacos'. Yummy!!! Made for 123HitWonders'.
