Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas

There are so many variations and takes on different enchiladas styles. I think they're all delicious...including Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas. These are the more American-style enchiladas: flour tortillas, Kraft dressing, cream cheese, and no dipping in grease! They are oh-so-tasty and fit perfectly with the Fresh and Chunky Salsa I posted about last week.

P.S. Can you believe it's almost November? I felt like we just celebrated the fourth of July!
