Good enchiladas! I used a rotisserie chicken and made as directed except that I used a 4-cheese Mexican blend. Simple and good. Thanks Shannon. -
Wonderful. Made this at 4 am, i had done the sauce earlier then got hungry lol. I thought it would be rather bland because the sauce didnt have much zip, but with the jalapeno's on the chicken, it just worked like a dream. Easy too. I will freeze the rest of the sauce, and anytime i buy rotisserie chicken i have a great dinner

Hi! I live in BC, Canada. I am a mommy to Jacob and a wife to Rich. I love that I can stay at home and take care of our house and child, what a blessing! I enjoy cooking (ahem, tagging recipes), photography (usually family, food and scenery - the people on this website have taught me so much!), playing the trumpet, walking and apparently doing laundry - as I do it so often, I must enjoy it.
