This is the BEST recipe for enchiladas with green sauce! My husband LOVED it!! If you want it spicier just add more of the green tomatillo salsa. I can't wait to serve this dish to my mother-in-law! She'll be so impressed!!04/28/09

This is my new favorite Chicken Enchilada recipe! I used corn tortillas and heated them in a pan before filling. During the last 12 minutes of baking, I spread the sour cream/taco sauce mixture over the enchiladas. DELICIOUS!09/13/07
