Re: Enchilada recipe?
Sure.
Chicken Enchiladas
Cook 3-4 chicken breasts (bake, boil, grill or sub 1 rotisserie chicken)
In electric skillet, melt 3-4 Tbsp butter, saute 1/2 onion. Add enough flour to make a paste, brown. Mix 2-3c Watkins chicken base, incorporate s-l-o-w-l-y into the roux. Add chicken. Mixture should be slightly soupy. Grease 9x13 pan, add small amount of chicken mixture and small handfull shreaded cheese to each tortilla, line up in pan. Use remaining sauce to cover the tortillas, add some cheese. Cover with foil, bake at 350 for 30mins or until cheese is bubbly.
ETA: These freeze well, so I usually make a double batch and freeze the other pan.
This is my favorite one to use (and really easy):

Preheat oven to 350
Brown hamburger (1lb-2lb, depending on how many you want)
Mix in a bowl, 3 cans of Cream of Chicken, a can of water and a package of taco seasoning.
After browning meat, pour a 1/4 of mixture into hamburger and 1 cup of mexican cheese
Place 1 tablespoon or a little more into tortilla and roll (add jalepanos if you wish)
Place roll into baking dish. Once filled baking dish(es), pour Cream of Chicken mixture on top of rolled tortillas. Then sprinkle 3 cups of cheese on top of mixtures.
Bake for 30 minutes.
I have made with chicken before. We usually eat 1.5 with sour cream and then have left overs for lunch. G
