This recipe takes something as good as chicken enchiladas and turns them into finger food! These were perfect for dinner, by using the jumbo size crescent rolls.

They would also make great party appetizers by using the smaller size crescent rolls. – either way, you put them together just the same.

You can mix up your seasonings…….use enchilada sauce mix and enchilada sauce, or taco.  I happened to have enchilada mix and taco sauce, so that’s what I used this time.

Mix cheeses, enchilada seasoning mix, sauce and chicken in a bowl. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with no-stick spray.

Next, unroll crescents and lay on pan add one heaping tablespoon of chicken mix, near the center of the two short ends fold short ends over chicken fold the long end over and under, bringing it up on the other side (fold or twist any extra dough on top)
