    Beef isnt chicken

    @Anonymous- You are right, but some leftover shredded chicken (or turkey) would work nicely instead of the ground beef in this recipe. Ground pork, sausage, chicken, or turkey would also work well too!

    I agree with Chef Heather about the above substitutions. Anytime you want a healthier alternative to ground beef, I recommend going with ground chicken or turkey.

    You could add some chipotles in adobo sauce or add some cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper to add more flavor. Maybe even a some green chilis.

    I think the reason someone said "beef isn't chicken" is because this was under the beef section of the recipes.

    I like to use corn tortillas and make it into a casserole. I just mix the meat cheese and enchilada sauce and onions and mix well then layer enchilada sauce on bottom and layer corn tortillas, mixture and more cheese and keep layering and end up with cheese and bake. It makes it easier to prepare.

    These went over very well. Very easy to make and the hubby told me I had to keep this recipe for future use. In my book, that's a winner.

    Not bad...not used to rice inside enchiladas so it seems more like a burrito w/ enchilada sauce on it.

    Excellent, especially if you season the meat while browning it.
