This is probably the MOST requested meal I make by both family and friends. The great thing is that it is incredibly easy! Oftentimes I just pick up a rotisserie chicken and debone it rather than bake my own chicken. Canned chicken can be used, but it doesn't taste as good (fresh) as a fresh baked chicken. This recipe can be made as separate enchiladas, but you will need to fry each corn tortilla briefly prior to rolling or they will break/crack on you. If you can find the 505 chiles, that really gives the dish the best flavor.
