Yummy Tex-Mex Chicken Enchiladas image

Promise you'll like 'em! My mom found this recipe in a newspaper many years ago. It has been a favorite of mine all my life. It's simple, tasty, and makes great leftovers. You can add or subtract any of the ingredients to suit your taste. You might want to make a little extra, the filling makes a great dip and you may not be able to keep your fingers out of it! (prep time doesn't include cooking chicken).

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used a mild salsa in these enchiladas. They were still very flavorful and delicious.

These enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great. I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and the enchiladas were still very flavorful.
