Kicked Up Chicken Enchiladas

Spicy Rojo ( Red Chili) Sauce gives this recipe for Chicken Enchiladas quite a bit of heat. If your spice tolerance is on the low side, just substitute a 10 oz. can of mild enchilada sauce and eliminate the broth. This amount of sauce could easily cover double the number of enchiladas to serve four.
Do not try to assemble the dish ahead of time. The corn tortillas will turn to mush!
