Personal Notes:
Before Kacey, my daughter, made this recipe, I never liked enchiladas. Now her chicken enchiladas are one of my favorite Mexican dishes. The cream of chicken soup makes them delicious. I think that's the key ingredient. And, of course, we always prepare Kate's guacamole when we make this dish.
