ASHLEY'S LAZY ENCHILADAS 
This recipe makes two 9x13-inch pans worth of food. It is written up for party people or large families looking to feed a lot of people. If two pans worth of food is way too much, then just cut the recipe in half. It works out easily and you don't have to make 2 pans worth if you don't need to.

2 lb. chicken, cooked and shredded
1 (23 oz.) can cream of chicken soup (family size or 2 regular)
1 (23 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup (family size or 2 regular)
2 (28 oz. ea.) cans cans green enchilada sauce
2 pkgs. small corn tortillas (you can use any small tortillas)
2 (8 oz. ea.) pkgs. Mozzarella cheese

Boil and shred the chicken. It tastes best if it is done fresh.

In a large pot, add the enchilada sauce to the drained chicken along with the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups. Mix well, then bring the mixture to a boil.

While waiting for the mixture to boil, take a 9x13-inch. pan and layer 6 or 8 tortillas along the bottom of the pan as the Enchiladas base. Make sure to cover the entirety of the pan's bottom.

Instead of rolling the tortillas with the mixture within them, as you would normally do for enchiladas, you will be pouring the mixture over the tortillas once it has come to a boil. Add a light layer of the mixture over the first layer of tortillas, then lay the next layer. Over the second layer of tortillas, fill the pan from 1/2 to 2/3 of the way full of the mixture, then add the third layer of tortillas.

If you are only making one pan, then pour the rest of the mixture over this layer of tortillas, if not, then don't worry about it unless you are working on your second pan. Over this last layer, empty 1 pack of mozzarella cheese.

If you are making two pans, repeat this process with the left over mixture in another pan.

Cover with foil and place in the oven at 350°F for 1 hour, then remove from the oven and enjoy!

It can be eaten right out of the oven, though you may want to let it cool a little first so you don't burn yourself trying to eat it; trust me, it looks good, smells good, and tastes even better, so I have done this. ;)

Note: This recipe is best served with dairy sour cream (though guacamole and salsa are good on it too) and a side of rice made with tomatoes (just add a can of tomatoes to the rice when you add the water; it really complements the taste of the enchilada sauce in the mixture). ^_^
