3. Use a large cast-iron pan to cook the chicken. Once you have done this, no need to clean it. You want to use this pan to place the prepared enchiladas in. The flavor bits from the cooked chicken will elevate flavor... Yum, yum!
NOTE: Cast-iron pans are inexpensive. You can a 15" for about $20.00
5. If you are heat sensitive, use 1 less chili in dish.
6. Store bought cream cheese will work. Use my recommendation of Einstein Brothers for maximum flavor.
7. How to char roast. Use a cast-iron pan. Place a piece of foil in the pan. Preheat pan on medium high. Place chili peppers on top of foil. Rotate chilis. Char until they collapse and turn dark.
Times will vary. Once done, lift foil from pan. Close foil with chilis inside. Let them steam, 15 minutes. Remove chilis and pull the char black off as much as possible. Chop chilis for dish.
Always preheat your oven 1/2 for any food. Your oven will read at 350, before the entire oven is heated to 350.

Toodle... Oo
Love, Mama G
What is this? Um... Just the best tasting enchilada filling in the entire world.
Yum, what is this? Place the mixture into the middle of tortillas, roll and tuck. Place seam down into pan.
Oh my gosh... What is this? This is the cast-iron pan I cooked the chicken in. You will set the rolled enchiladas right on top of the flavor bits. Oh! Yeah!
What is this? This cream cheese is light. This is what I had on hand. For maximum results I recommend non-light. Go for the fat in the cream cheese, my loves. Adds richness.
