        Hi Rachel ~ I’m so glad you liked them! I honestly haven’t tried freezing these yet, as I’ve never had leftovers with my hungry hubby and teenage boys. 🙂 If you do try freezing them, let me know how they turn out!

      I made this a few weeks ago and my family loved it! They wanted more! Can you use taco sized tortillas with this recipe in the 9×13 baking dish as well? I have a pot luck next week and would like to make smaller proportions of this for more people.

        Hi Tina ~ I’m so glad to hear your family loved this dish! My family sure loves it, too! You can definitely use soft taco size tortillas as well… I’ve done that several times, and it turns out great! This would be perfect for a potluck! 🙂

        With my family, they eat a whole enchilada a piece. So depending on how big you make them, you can fit 6-8 in one pan.

          I have done this for years. The only difference is I mix cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, sour cream, and ground cumin. I split the mixture, ⅓ goes on top and ⅔ goes in the chicken. I don’t use chilies. this is an all time family favorite!

          No enchilada sauce. The red look is just the camelized cheese. I have done this for years. The only difference is I mix cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, sour cream, and ground cumin. I split the mixture, ⅓ goes on top and ⅔ goes in the chicken. I don’t use chilies. this is an all time family favorite!
