I would prefer this recipe with regular Enchilada sauce and pepper jack cheese or any other white cheese on top. All cream cheese is the same thing so is cheese your not getting any difference when you buy name brand compared to off brand. It's better to buy off brand when it comes to dairy's plus you won't have to pay as much, they melt the same. Philly cream cheese was on sale so when I can I buy branded sometimes.
I got chicken on sale for 2.81 for a Pound of two breast I used which the add said 1.69 a pound. Their wasn't any difference in price for the cream cheese you can usually squeeze one into your budged for 2 dollars. The tortillas I used Chi chi's brand which allowed me to get 2 packages for 4 dollars. The green chilli can is under a dollar where I shopped it was Price Chopper. The green Chile sauce was a big one Id pay just as much for two cans as I would buying the Value one so I bought the Value Old Elpaso Green Chile Sauce.
Mind you that Walmart is way cheaper with everything. The cheese I shred myself it's not as processed that I know of. I usually buy a big block of cheese that is 24 oz for $6.51 which is usually off brand Best Choice. If you didn't buy the big block you could be spending 3 dollars on 8 oz of cheese or less If you buy the bagged cheese. If you went to Aldi's you could save yourself 5 dollars off the 12 dollar price. For your start you need some Chicken cut up into little strips. I prefer chicken that is fresh over frozen in the freezer aisle that who knows what it has in it or how it's made or prepared.
Preheat oven to 400 -F
