I made up the mixture the way I was supposed to.  I sautéed my onions and peppers while I put together the cream of chicken soup, broth and yogurt.  I added the chicken that I had previously grilled and shredded and added the onions and peppers.  I was a little shy about adding spices to taste but I thought it tasted very good.  I only had 4 tortillas instead of 6 but thought that would still be ok.  I put the mixture in and rolled and they lined up so nicely in my dish. I had messed up.  I forgot to add the cheese.  But I didn't realize this until after I had made a different mistake.  I had a lot of enchilada mix left over and ended up pouring it over the tortillas and the pouring the set aside mixture over top of that.  LOL That's when I realized that I was supposed to have added a cup of cheese to the stuff before I put it in the tortillas.

Hmm, what to do now?  The tortillas are SMOTHERED under the remaining mixture.  So I just added the whole 2 cups to the top and hoped for the best.

The other part that made me nervous was the "cook until bubbly" part.  I'm not a good guesser.  I like exact directions.  So I set the timer for 5 minutes...5 times. 

When I thought it was getting closer to done I called in DS to get washed up for dinner.  He took one look in the oven and said, "Do I have to eat that?"  That boy had himself convinced that he was going to hate it without even know what it was!!!  I gave him a half serving.

I thought it was DELICIOUS.  I was so pleased, even with my mistakes, with the way it turned out that I was almost patting myself on the back and congratulating myself left and right.  It could have used a little more spices but it was still very good.

DS on the other hand was starting his annoying gagging routine when he is trying to get out of eating something.  I don't know why he does it.  He's never gotten out of eating things that way.  It just takes longer and no one is having a good time with it.  He hadn't even taken a bite!  So after some tears, discipline and a big jug of water, he ate his entire portion.  I wouldn't say he loved it but he liked it.  Good thing I have me to pat myself on the back.  LOL.
