EASY CREAMY WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

EASY CREAMY WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Rich White Chicken Enchiladas are made with flour tortillas, destroyed chicken, mozzarella, green chiles and a scrumptious white cream sauce! 

One of my preferred Mexican dinners (other than chimichangas) are enchiladas. Amusing side note: did you know "chimichanga" is Spanish for thing-a-ma-jig? Ha! This formula for white chicken enchiladas are serious stuff however! 

I'm not wild about the red sauce enchiladas. The red sauce can now and then be so overpowering in taste for me that I can't generally taste different flavors in the dish. Furthermore, here and there my heartburn can't help contradicting anything red. Enter the white sauce. Presently this is fit for my tastes. A light-tasting harsh cream sauce that has a trace of warmth from the green chiles.

10 flour tortillas (taco size)

2 cups shredded, cooked chicken (can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken)

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or mozzarella)
