I have a recipe for chicken enchiladas that is very good, but it has more ingredients and makes a lot, and no way to cut in half with out messing up the recipe. This is similar so now I can make chicken enchiladas more often without so much leftovers. To jmz2005 question. In my recipe the tortilla's are not heated before assembling. They are rolled with chicken and chilies inside, and sauce over the top.

This sounds really good. I am going to attempt to make them, just 1 question, do you heat the tortillas in the oven or in skillet before assembling? Does it matter?
