RECIPE BACKSTORY
I tweaked this a lot. Used chicken thighs. Didn't have pinto beans so I rinsed a can of Great Northern beans very well and added half of a packet of taco seasoning mix. I was short on picante and added a can of red enchilada sauce. I poured a can of enchilada sauce over the enchiladas before I topped them with the cheese.
Family liked them a lot.

You use chicken breast meat? My mother and I have always used ground meat. But I'm sure your enchiladas are good! They'd be welcomed in my hosue.
