This is a different take on chicken enchiladas. It does take some time, but is so very worth it! I serve it with refried beans and Mexican rice.

Always love the "home-made" sauce! Such a wonderful flavor! Good recipe.


This is fantastic! It makes a nice change from the red enchilada sauce I usually make!
