This is a great chicken enchilada recipe I found this one the other day, I had made BBQ chicken quesadillas the day before and still had some BBQ chicken to use up and of course all the salsa, sour cream etc.. as well. I found this one and thought I would try it and I have to say it was very good. I served over Mexican style rice I did not have any jalapeno pepper so just subbed a regular green chili, I also did not top with diced tomato as I did not have any I just topped with some salsa and sour cream. The original recipe was for a low fat version using lower fat sour cream and cheese I did not make with these as low fat, if you want to see more photos or reviews of this recipe please click here.
