Jack and I really aren't enchilada fans. We don't like them mushy so usually let the cheese brown. There is another recipe I normally use, which I will include below. With that, the cheese gets crispy, but this recipe called out to me because it looked like cheesy goodness so I thought I would give it a try. Plus, it's pretty fast and simple. I liked the taste of this one better. I topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and corn. Jack threw some tortilla chips on his to give it a crunch, but he likes my other recipe better. He felt this was too greasy. And with the butter it does have more of that texture. So if you're looking for a similar taste, with less grease, my other enchilada recipe is as follows:

1/2 can Costco chicken

cream cheese

onions

I mix these together in a saucepan until the cheese is melted. Sorry I don't know how much cream cheese I use, just to get a good consistency. I roll it up in tortillas. Open a can of green enchilada sauce pour a little on the bottom of the pan, put my tortillas in, pour a little on top of the tortillas and top with cheddar cheese. I then let it cook until the cheese gets crispy. And that's it!
