White Chicken Enchiladas

I vary the way I cook enchiladas every few weeks. Sometimes we have beef enchiladas, sometimes cheese, but most often we do chicken. I prefer the red enchilada sauce on them and Bryan prefers the green chile enchilada sauce. It's ironic because tthe green chile sauce is very mild and he usually likes super spicy foods. These enchiladas are delicious. I served these with some seasoned black beans.
