Chicken Enchiladas

Yes these chicken enchiladas are not authentic Mexican food, but they are delicious. They remind me of the day after thanksgiving with my family and our family friends next door. We would make enchiladas and eat a lot. We would laugh and play games. This is a tradition that still continues to this day. We get to together and make enchiladas. Sometimes we substitute turkey for chicken, we love them still. They are so good.
