Notes
This is great served with soft or hard tacos, in burritos, with chips or as a salad topping. The possibilities are endless.
I often serve with sour cream and a sprinkle of Mexican cheese.
For a Mexican Enchilada Casserole, wrap in flour or corn tortillas, filling a 9 X 13 baking pan. Cover with tomato sauce and shredded Mexican cheese. Bake at 325 degrees until heated through and cheese is melted.
Add more chicken broth or beer if you like more "sauce".
