My kids really do not like mexican food, unless you count only taco meat in a crunchy Doritos flavored taco Mexican! Two of the three are rather quite picky. I decided to try something different since we had extra fresh Amish chicken, I made enchiladas. The only ingredients I put in the enchiladas was the chicken seasoned with the taco seasoning and cheese and then I covered them with more cheese and enchilada sauce. Everyone ate them…it was a good night!
