Just made this tonight. I had leftover chicken and this was quick, easy and delicious. I like this idea better than rolling each enchilada separately.

WOW... Tasty, anyone who loves spanish food, you definitely need to try it! I made my whole made tamales and salsa to go w/it and everybody loved it! My husband thought it was another one of my whole made dishes. Not the case this time, but he still thought it was the bomb!!!!
