Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce
My whole family loves these enchiladas filled with smoky shredded chicken and cheddar cheese in a tangy tomatillo sauce. They’re lighter and fresher than the enchiladas served in most Mexican restaurants, especially when you top them with crisp shredded romaine, sour cream and sliced avocado.
