Chicken Cheese Enchiladas

Ever since I perfected the Cheeze Sauce recipe I try to keep it on hand as much as possible. The sauce is also a great way to add cheesy flavour without the added fat or calorie associated with traditional cheese. I also love anything tex-mex. Since enchiladas are super easy to customize and no matter what you stuff them with it can all cook at the same time, so it makes it super easy for a couple like Mr. CT and myself. I can make a meatless enchilada for me and meaty enchiladas for him. If you haven't guessed this is the recipe I made for him!

Tricks
For an extra melty and restaurant style enchilada cook under the broiler until the cheese just browns
If you do decide to place it under the broiler, make sure you are not using a silicon mat.
