Put the chicken in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm it up.

In a saucepan, add the 575 red enchilada sauce and thin it with about half a jar of water until the desired consistency is reached.

Warm the corn tortillas until they are pliable.

Spread some of the enchilada sauce on a plate.

Dunk the first tortilla in the sauce, then layer it with chicken and cheese.

Repeat the layering process with additional tortillas, chicken, and cheese.

Serve the enchiladas on the plate with additional sauce and garnish with kleslaw and beans.
