Five-Star Chicken Enchiladas

Debber's Note:

Going out on a limb with that name, but that's how we rate these little beauties! Make up a batch of my Mexican Gravy/Enchilada Sauce, and you're all set to make this recipe--otherwise just use canned enchilada sauce from the store.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins

Yup! 5-stars! This was very simple to make and very tasty. I used canned enchilada sauce and big burrito-sized tortillas. Thanks Debber for a great and easy dinner.
