This family-friendly recipe offers a new take on classic enchiladas. If you like yours with a little extra “oomph,” sprinkle some seeded, fresh chopped jalapenos and cilantro on top. —Amy Johnson, New Braunfels, Texas
Ingredients:
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon butter
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
