    These look great. I’m not much of an enchilada person, but my husband is part mexican so I make them for him and I’ll definitely try these.

    This year in Oregon we have also had some oddly Spring-like weather… and t-shirt weather! Chicken Enchiladas are one of my favorite meals and one that my husband can’t turn down. I like to make a few extra trays of them to freeze for later, too!

    Actually, with a winter this bitter, the warm up to 30 degrees today felt GREAT! And the enchiladas look wonderful.
