Seriously Simple Chicken Enchiladas

I've recently tried a new recipe as part of my 25 by 25 list. It may be a new favorite! My mom shared a recipe with me for Chicken Enchiladas. One enchilada is very filling! This recipe is super simply but can be modified even more, if you wish! For example, we added pinto beans and it tasted great. My husband suggested adding green chiles. You could even top them with sour cream and black olives; the options are endless!
