For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the chicken mixture.
You can use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas for a gluten-free option. Just be sure to warm the corn tortillas slightly before filling them to prevent them from cracking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of green chiles to your preference for spiciness.
Leftover enchiladas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
