Chicken Enchiladas and Enchilada Sauce

Today’s recipe is the fourth in the series of recipes I promised you that make quick and easy summer meals because they start with a rotisserie chicken.  You can pick one up at Costco or your local grocery store and dinner is halfway made.

I love a good enchilada.  I prefer my enchiladas made with corn tortillas .  That is what I used for this recipe but if you prefer a flour tortilla it will work also.
