Preference in enchiladas?

Flour or corn tortillas? Why? Almost all recipes say either. I just defrosted some chicken in Green Mountain hot salsa and am wondering what to do with it. My usual would be to lightly butter one side of a flour tortilla, grill til its pliable, top with meat and cheese, roll up and bake in oven (kind of an untried burrito or chimichanga. Is the only difference in that and an enchilada the addition of sauce before baking? Any other recommendations for me? I have both flour and corn tortillas. I'm not opposed to toastados, even. Just uninspired.

 
I always make them with corn. Never saw them made with flour until I read a

Recipe online from someone in the midwest US.

Not sure if there is a regional preference.

 
Filed flour tortillas are burritos, not enchiladas

Only unauthentic recipes for enchiladas or casseroles I see use flour. Flour tortillas get gummy when filled & baked in sauce.

 
I never saw enchiladas prepared with flour tortillas until I moved east of the Mississippi. smileys/wink.gif

Then my mother, a Colorado native, made them with flour tortillas once, in an amnesiac fog, I guess, and I nearly screamed in horror.

 
Corn, heated in lightly spray oiled pan first

Prefer corn to flour in every recipe but end up with enchiladas instead of burritos smileys/smile.gif Colleen
