After I pick the kids up from school, it’s always a mad rush to get dinner on the table before they start whining about one thing or another. Life is busy. Really busy. And the last thing I want to do on a busy weeknight in-between work and kid activities is stand over a stove and cook a meal.

This recipe from rotisserie chicken enchiladas has been one that everyone in the family loves. And I love it because it’s super easy!
