This is so simple and delicious. I use rotisserie chickens from the deli and it comes out great. Definitely a family favorite of ours!!!

Makes your friends think you are the best chef in the world - and it's so easy! I had a similar recipe with re-fried beans, green chilies and red enchilada sauce on top, served with rice and beans. It's easy to shred the chicken if you boil it - but I see some people used chicken from a can which is something I'll look forward to trying. Also the cream cheese seems like it would be weird but it absolutely makes it (Coming from someone who is not a sour cream fan and was very skeptical). Overall WONDERFUL recipe and is one of my absolute favorite meals!

So good and easy! I used two large cans of chicken, so that made it even easier! I used smaller tortillas, so it makes 12! Ive made it about half a dozen times now and we all love it -- we topped with sour cream, guacamole, salsa and shredded lettuce. Thank you for the recipe!
