Ain’tchyougladas Plagiarized

"Modifying two ingredients in a recipe someone told you where to find does not make it your own."

"I dunno though, I think it does! The recipe uses cheese and olives, whereas I do not, plus I’m the one making it.. therefore it’s mine! No?"

..

I thought this was church boy's secret recipe, but his secret became my not-so-secret, he found the recipe online with his mad skills. Props.

Make the recipe accordingly without the olives and cheese. (Olives aren’t Mexican and I can’t eat cheese.)
Sauce.
This is not shredded boiled chicken as it asks in the recipe. I cooked the chicken as the recipe asked on Thursday but I didn't get to make the enchiladas until Monday after a totally unrelated incident in which I got violently ill from bad lunch soup from Moulin de Provence in the market. I didn't want to take a chance with my pre-cooked chicken that seemed a little pink so I got a cooked rotisserie chicken which no doubt made this recipe extra terrible. And by terrible I mean delicious. Look at how it glistens.
Mix le all INCLUDING the onions... otherwise the onions magically turn blue, something which the next pic may or may not indicate well, but I have a witness!!
Mexican is my favorite of all the ethnic food groups and this tastes pretty authentic to me. So good I ate them everyday and only 2 in a sitting in order to prolong them, which is incredibly hard for someone who eats as much as me! Looks like I didn't have to share my leftovers with friends after all. I hear they prefer pitas anyhow.

I used to love echiladas, it has been a long time since i have had them. Perhaps i will try and veganize :P your recipe.

I think any recipe anyone takes and puts their own spin on is totally their own; otherwise, there would only be a few basic recipes deemed "originals".

That's a bummer you got sick, i think i am fighting something right now, but it could be something minor made worse by exessive drinking.

Did Moulin de Provence compensate you for what their food induced?
