    They look good, but does it seem weird to anybody else that the recipe uses flour tortillas instead of corn? I've never had enchiladas with flour tortillas, just seems...odd I guess.

    I thought the same thing when I read the recipe.   I made them with corn tortillas and they turned out great.   To each his own but I like the texture of the corn torillas with enchiladas so much more.

    Looks fantastic! Going to make these soon. Wonder how using smoked chicken would turn out?

    Made this last night too! used leftover chicken (S.V. bone-in skin-on breasts) shredded & tossed w/ onion/green chile.  Oven bake, but it was very nice meal.  Followed entire recipe close, except did 50% ancho chili powder in sauce, and added some summer corn (we gots tons of it in ohio) to the wraps before bake.  Thanks for sharing . . and Let me know if you have a good GREEN enchilada sauce!  

    We have a fantastic recipe, but have been threatened with all sorts of not nice things should I ever divulge it. Typically I like the GREEN with leftover beer-can chicken and RED with beef. We have some ribeye and/or fillet steak ends from our butcher that makes killer enchiladas.

    That sauce recipe looks very close to my own; if you use lard instead of vegetable oil, it will be mine!  (I've also used bacon drippings, delicious but not traditional).  
    I just read the recipe and though "pig butter instead of oil, thighs instead of breasts".  Great minds...

    Never have understood the whole secret recipe thing. 

    These need to be in my belly. Thanks for sharing!

    @NDG, I don't know if this is a good green recipe or not, but it sure looks good and I intend to try it. From Skip Bayless' brother Rick (who has a MUCH better rep as a chef than Skip has as a sportscaster. =)) If you try it before I do, please post the results!
