I know that food bloggers are never prone to hyperbole.But with these enchiladas, I stand by the title that I gave to this recipe in my very first year of food blogging.
These truly are the best chicken enchiladas ever!
Everyone loves these enchiladas!
So since this recipe has been buried in the archives for years, I thought I would pull it back up today to share the enchilada love with you. Hope you all enjoy these as much as I have!
No kidding. These seriously are the best enchiladas ever, and it’s all due to a special (and easy) homemade enchilada sauce that will rock your socks off.
