Well, he more than dealt with it. He 'dominated' them - in his words. I tamed the heat with a little bit of cream cheese and used less blue cheese and cilantro on his half of the enchiladas. These were SO good. Like get-in-mah-belly-now good. The recipe is adapted from one of my fave recipe blogs, How Sweet Eats. Her blog always make me crazy hungry - check it out!
One of these days I'll get my big girl camera back out and stop being so lazy by only using my iphone.
Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:
8 large whole wheat tortillas
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (I baked mine in a little bit of buffalo sauce at 450 for one hour)
19 ounce can red enchilada sauce
1/4 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (depending on your tastebuds)
4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
4 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (or blue)
5 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 375.
Lighly grease a 9x13 pan.
Pour enchilada sauce in a bowl and begin by whisking in 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce. Taste and adjust according to your desired level of heat. Set aside.
Add shredded chicken to a bowl with 2 green onions, 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese. Pour in about a 1/2 cup of enchilada/buffalo sauce mixture and mix thoroughly. Stir until mixture comes together.
Take each tortilla and fill it with a few heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Roll each up and set it in the baking dish, seam side down. Pour the rest of enchilada/buffalo sauce on top of tortillas and add remaining monterey jack cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Immediately after taking enchiladas out of the oven, add crumbled gorgonzola or blue cheese on top. Garnish with the remaining onions and cilantro and serve.

Enjoy! I feel certain this will rock your world, and your lunch with the leftovers.
