I hope you make these. In fact, I’m not sure we can speak anymore if you don’t.
Was that incentive enough? : )
We really like enchiladas but sometimes you want a change of pace from the red-sauced variety. I make these with a seasoned white sauce and brightened up the flavors by topping with some fresh veg. These would be quite easy to make a large (or smaller) batch of, and would probably be a good option for when you need to make something ahead of time and just pop in the oven just before dinner. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try the variation on the bottom of adding chopped zucchini. I know it sounds crazy, but I’ve been making them that way for many years and never had a peep of complaints. So either way, get cookin’!

2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T oil

1 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or cubed
2 cups shredded cheese, Mexican blend
6-10 Flour Tortillas (the fewer you use, the more filling they will have)
2-3 tomatoes, chopped
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Heat oil and butter in skillet over medium high heat.
Add onion and garlic, cook till softened, a few minutes.

Divide chicken between them all.
Pour sauce into all of the tortillas over the chicken.

Fold tortillas over, then sprinkle with remaining cheese.
