ADDICTIVE GREEN ENCHILADAS
The cream cheese is the star in these enchiladas... I've never met a person who didn't enjoy these and they are so simple to put together. You can cook your chicken breasts for these anyway you want... I recommend putting a chili powder/garlic rub on them and baking them. You can also boil them in water and garlic salt, but the baking produces tender, flavorful chicken! Toss in some red pepper flakes to the chicken/cheese mixture for some heat!! Can't beat it! Recently I didn't have a can of the green sauce on hand, and had a crisper full of tomatillos! I made Recipe #51630 and WOW it was super. It takes of course a little more work and effort but it was really good. If you like tomatillos, give it a try when you have some extra time on hand.

EASY SHREDDED BEEF GREEN CHILE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I was looking for a quick and different way to use the leftover shredded beef cooked in a crock pot the day before. I came up with this recipe which is quick and easy without having to roll each tortilla individually . My husband doesn't like corn tortillas or red sauce so I used green sauce and flour tortillas and layered them in a 8 1/2 inch casserole dish that fit the torrillas perfectly. I knew it was a hit when he went back for a second and third helping! It also tastes great left over the next day. You could also make it with shredded chicken. (Cooking the beef is not included in prep time)
