M Wolverines Enchiladas Verdes
Why I Love This Recipe
These were excellent, I just had to share. They made 12 very generous enchiladas. You could probably make 18 normal size ones with this recipe. The chicken, cream cheese, onion filling is yummy. The only thing I would do differently next time, (and there will be a next time) is to use 1/2 Jack cheese and 1/2 parmesan instead of all parmesan for the topping. I had to cook it for almost an hour to heat completely through.
