Personal Notes:
OK, if you haven't realized I have NEVER made this dish with the green chiles even though it does call for it.
Also, I cook the chicken in a packet of taco seasoning prior to adding the chicken to the tortillas.
This dish is cheesy and YUMMY!
Goes well with Spanish Rice on the side.
