Simple Chicken Enchiladas

My husband and I both love Mexican food, however it can be quite stodgy. If you want a great tasting meal that wont weigh you down, you have to try these simple chicken enchiladas. 


Instead of a heavy filling this recipe is creamy and light. By pairing it with a salad and some Spanish rice you have a wonderful meal that your family is sure to enjoy.
