I love cheese Mexican Food, and make this while I travel!
Because I travel and live in my RV full time, all my cooking is done in my Microwave/Convection oven combo! Just remember to set the temp about 25 degrees lower on your convection oven, if that's what you're using! If you have gas/propane, follow the temp settings in the directions.

2. Heat butter or cooking oil in frying pan
3. Add chicken to the pan and salt and pepper to taste
4. Cook chicken until just done / tender (about 5-7 min) You don't want to
over cook it because you will also be baking the dish when it's all assembled.
5. Turn off heat and remove chicken
6. Using forks shred chicken into smaller pieces
7. Return shredded chicken to frying pan over Medium High heat
8. Add ½ of the Enchilada sauce and stir to coat chicken

10. Remove the chicken mixture from the heat.
NEXT
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F
2. Prepare 9”X13” Baking pan by pouring just enough enchilada sauce to coat the bottom of the pan.
3. One at a time, spoon chicken mixture onto a tortilla, leaving room to roll.
4. Fold the ends of the tortilla inward and then roll the tortilla into a tube and place into the pan. Do this with all 8 tortillas to fill the pan.
5. Pour the remaining Enchilada sauce across the top of the prepared tortillas being sure to coat the edges. (keeps them from getting too dry!)
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese blend evenly over the top of the Tortillas

NOTES:
You may substitute corn tortilla for flour. You may also opt to fry the tortillas briefly in oil before rolling them to give them a different texture.
You may substitute the home made enchilada sauce for canned enchilada sauce.Left overs can be kept in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Or do like I do and share with neighbors!!
