Fantastic! This recipe has a funny story for me. I had copied this EXACT recipe out of a Sunset magazine at the chiropractor's office, but had never made it. When I saw it here, I thought...now is the time. I was really tired of just plain left-over holiday turkey and made these little gems. They were absolutely wonderful! Next time I might add some olives and red onion just because I like them. Barb, thanks for an easy and wonderful recipe!

Easy recipe with a nice turn out. I used turkey and flour tortillas that I heated to make soft over a burner instead of oil. I added crushed garlic and onions to the filling. Was going to use a red salsa, but decided to use a green. Made 6 nice size enchiladas. Thank you for posting Barb! I will fix these again.

These were simple to make, and I happened to have everything on hand. I poached one (single) chicken breast in chicken broth, which was enough meat for six enchiladas. I subbed Trader Joe's enchilada sauce (from a bottle) for the salsa, as my DH doesn't like spicy food. After frying each tortilla in hot oil for a few seconds, I dipped each one in the enchilada sauce before filling it. I then poured some of the enchilada sauce down the middle of the tortillas in my 9x9 pan before sliding it into the oven. I will make these again, thanks for sharing your recipe, Barb!
