• Add the shredded chicken with 2 cups cheese to the first bowl with 2/3 of the sauce. Mix with a spatula to combine.
• Generously add chicken filling to the center of each tortilla and roll up tortillas tightly. Arrange the tortillas in a 9x13 casserole dish.
• Pour the reserved 1/3 of sauce over the tortillas and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese (add more cheese if desired).

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

Turn after 1 to 2 minutes, or after browned. Cook 30 seconds longer. Remove crepe from heat, and place layers of waxed paper between prepared crepes until all 6 have been made.

In a large bowl, combine green chile mixture, chicken, 1/3 cup salsa verde and cilantro. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese; season with salt and pepper, to taste. To assemble the enchiladas, lay tortilla on a flat surface and spoon 1/2-3/4 cups of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Top with remaining salsa verde and remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Place into oven and bake until bubbly, about 35-40 minutes.

• Using a pair of tongs, coat tortillas one at a time lightly with sauce or use a cooking brush and coat tortillas on each side lightly.
• In a non-stick skillet fry tortillas on each side for a few seconds. Add a little cooking spray if pan starts to get too sticky. Do not overcook or tortillas will fall apart.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

• Roll tortillas. Assemble and place each tortilla seam side down in a greased baking dish or casserole.

• Cover casserole with aluminum and place in oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove foil and cook for another few minutes if you like to brown the cheese on top. This step is entirely up to you.
