I had some leftover shredded chicken, rice & beans dish I made up a while back & figgered it would make some good enchiladas. I didn't have any store bought sauce, never much cared for the canned stuff anyway (soory Craig), so I did a search for a recipe. Found this one that sounded good...

The thing that sent this recipe over the top for me was the cocoa powder. The recipe originally called for just a teaspoon of cocoa bhut I upped it to a tablespoon. Also, I only had a lil over two tablespoons of chill powder so I made up the balance with Smitty's...
Topped off the enchiladas with some smoked pepper jack & some yummy black olives (soory Rob). Here's a couple pics...
This recipe was pretty easy to put together & can easily be adjusted for your tastes. I'm never buying canned sauce again...
Thanks for lookin' & enjoy...
