"A nice semi-mild chicken enchilada recipe that all the kids will like. The pecans add a little different texture and flavor. This is a great way to use your Thanksgiving turkey leftovers."

I am a stay at home wife and mother of three. I have always been a hit and miss cook. Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. Last year (2001) I decided that my goal would be to learn to cook so that I was more hit than miss. My quest for authentic English recipes landed me here on Recipezaar. I enjoy trying new recipes, techiques and flavors. My passions are my family mail art and cooking.
