Shortcuts:
Use a 16 oz bag of tortilla chips instead of frying your own tortillas. Just be careful with the amount of salt you use since most commercial tortilla chips are already salted.
Instead of boiling and shredding your own chicken, buy chicken bits. I personally don’t like the precooked packaged chicken. There’s nothing like the flavor of chicken breasts boiled with the bone, salt, onion and garlic. You can even make your own chicken broth that way.
Use a shredded Mexican cheese blend found in grocery stores if you don’t find Chihuahua cheese.
Use a prepared enchilada sauce found in the Mexican food isle of your grocery store. I am not sure about this last shortcut. I have never used any kind of prepared sauce before so I wouldn’t know what the result would be like. But if you don’t have enough time to prepare your own sauce, I guess it’s a valid shortcut.
