Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
3/4 pound shredded cooked chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
28 ounces El Torito fire roasted green enchilada sauce
1 1/2 cup sour cream
12 (6-inch size) corn tortillas
1 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the chicken and onion in a bowl and mix gently.
Combine the enchilada sauce and sour cream in another bowl and mix until smooth. Transfer 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce mixture to the bowl with the chicken. Mix well.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tortillas, one at a time, turning to heat on both sides. Transfer the tortillas to paper toweling and cover lightly to keep warm.
Spread some of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish (just enough to cover the bottom lightly).
Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture in a line down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up around the filling and place the tortillas, seam-side down, in a single layer in the baking dish.
Evenly top the rolled tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese.
Place the enchiladas in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and serve immediately.

Green enchiladas are my favorite Mexican food and this recipe is to die for! I've made it before but just came back to print another copy of the recipe and realized that I never wrote a review. I HIGHLY recommned the recipes.

These were excellent and I loved the green sauce not a red sauce in them.

This recipe is easy and my family always asks me to make it. It's delicious and crowd-pleasing (a little rich).
