(These are REALLY good Enchiladas, and despite the overwhelming instructions, fairly easy.)

Awesome. I make a similar filling for Enchiladas but cook the Green Chile with the chicken. I usually top with Red Enchilada Sauce but this white version sound delicious and less steps, Thanks...JJ
 
That looks very good thanks for the recipe
 
WOO HOO!!!! Like SmokinAl, bookmarked this as well. Definitely needs some jalapeño or even a touch of habanero. Many thanks for the instructional photos and recipe. Mrs. Wurtz saw this and "suggested" we make this with my leftover smoked chicken. Well, going to try this in the smoker using peach or the grape vine dust (A-MAZE-N product) just for kicks. 🍻
