Author’s Note:
You could use the flour tortillas to make it more like real enchiladas but its so quick and easy and not really time consuming. Most cooks have the ingredients on hand – so enjoy!
Nicki’s Note:
I omitted the mushrooms and used cream of chicken soup (instead of mushroom) and used flour tortillas, and it turned out wonderful! Highly recommended with a good spicy rice or similar side dish. 🙂
