5 Can Chicken Enchiladas
"A quick, very easy, low clean up way to make enchiladas. I adapted this from a few other recipes. We prefer flour tortillas but you can use corn. Corn does work better if they are warm, so putting them in the microwave for 30-40 seconds makes them more pliable. You can always substitute fresh cooked ground beef, turkey or chicken for the canned meat."

Easy and quick recipe. I used 1/2 cup salsa instead of the green chiles. Definitely a hit that I'll make again! -
Quick and easy dinner. Would make again though I think I would use a rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken instead of the canned. Made for PAC Fall 2011 -
This was very simple to make and my kids who are somewhat picky eaters really liked it. Will be making it for dinner again tonight. -
Tasty and very easy to make. I did use shredded, cooked chicken rather than canned, fat-free refried beans and 96% fat-free flour tortillas and topped with lite sour cream. -
This was very good. I will surely have it again.
