Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn?

You can - technically you will be making burritos instead of enchiladas, but it's still going to taste like heaven!

How spicy is this recipe?

It all depends on the spiciness of the taco sauce. I am a Spice Wimp, so I always pick mild, but if you like a little more heat, try Regular or Spicy taco sauce.

Can this recipe be made ahead?

Yes, all the way up to the baking! You want to do that at the last minute for maximum cheese melty deliciousness!

Where do I get the cooked chicken?

This is a great way to use up chicken leftovers, but if you don't have any of those, a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket is perfect! Or cook up some chicken on your stovetop - this is my favorite method .

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a 9 x 13 casserole with cooking spray.
Mix the taco sauce, the chicken soup and the sour cream together until well combined.
Take a generous spoonful of the taco sauce mixture (about ½ cup) and spread it over the bottom of the casserole.
Lay the tortillas out on the counter and sprinkle with 3 cups of the shredded cheese, dividing it evenly between the tortillas. Divide the chicken among the tortillas.
Roll up each tortilla as securely as you can and then place it in the casserole, seam side down, smooshing the tortilla rolls together so they all fit in one layer.
Ladle the rest of the creamy taco mixture over the top, spreading it out so that everything is pretty much covered.
Pop the casserole in the oven and bake it up for 15 minutes. Take the casserole out, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, and bake it for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melty. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the casserole with the chopped tomato (you can also add chopped avocado and/or more sour cream on top if you are feeling fancy!).

Divide it among plates and serve with lime wedges (and I also recommend margaritas!)
