For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of diced green chilies to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a spicier enchilada, use a hotter salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. To prevent the tortillas from cracking, warm them slightly in the microwave or on a dry skillet before filling. These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time. Feel free to customize the filling with other ingredients such as corn, black beans, or sautéed vegetables.
