Heat each taco shell 2-3 minutes on each side. You may need to add a little more oil after you make a few. Add enough oil so they do not stick to the pan. Cooking them this way, will make them more pliable for folding and add more flavor to the taco shells.

Continuing cooking and stirring over low heat until cream cheese and milk, forms a nice hot creamy sauce. To the sauce add black pepper and lime juice and stir together.

Making the enchilada: Add couple spoonful's of filling to soft corn shells, roll it like a jelly roll, placing sealed side down, top with more cheddar jack cheese and green onion tops. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, until cheese is melted. Top with your favorite hot sauce and sliced avocados. will make 20 enchiladas **tip for making fork tender chicken breasts, cook raw chicken breasts on low in your slow cooker for 6-8 hours. I season them, add a little water to my slow cooker and let the cook over night. They are just right for enchiladas or chicken salad. | |
