  4. To shredded chicken, add the can of green chilies, and 1/4 of a cup of the green enchilada sauce and combine
  5. Grease a baking dish and add a little bit of enchilada sauce to cover bottom of the dish
  6. In a separate bowl, pour a little more of the sauce and dip the tortilla to coat
  7. Stuff tortilla with chicken mixture and roll. Place seam side down in the baking dish

Notes
  1. *The number of enchiladas you will have will depend on how much chicken you add to each enchilada. This recipe made about 12 enchiladas for us, and we used 2 baking dishes to make them fit nicely.
