these are great! Not too spicy, but full of flavor. I do not like corn tortilla's either, flour tortilla's worked wonderfully for this recipe! Yum

To hlhilton2004...not all enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. We make both and they're both very good. Have not tried this recipe yet, but it sounds great.

Chicken enchiladas were fantastic and easy to make. However, I cooked the chicken on the stove and added a little more sauce over the top of the enchiladas before putting them in the broiler. I hate corn tortillas so the flour tortillas worked out great! Family loved this recipe.
