We do a lot of Mexican dishes and one thing I do now is use corn tortillas. My husband loves when I do and I find it makes our Mexican dishes taste authentic. The trick with corn tortillas is that they have to be softened before you can roll them. There are a few ways to do this. I live to soften mine in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then I dip them in the sauce I am using before filling them and rolling them. Also you place them in the pan with the ends open. You can not roll the ends up like you do with a flour tortilla. It still works great. You will love it.
I have also been using my enchilada recipes and instead of rolling them, I layer a 9 by 13 pan with corn tortillas then the mixture that I would have put in the tortilla, then cover the top in cheese. It is a fast meal. My family loves it.
If you want to make your meat rally spicy boil it with a onion and some garlic. It really infuses flavor into the meat.
I like to boil tons of chicken then shred it and freeze it in ziploc bags. That way when I want to make a mexican meal I can just grab my pre-cooked/shredded meat out of the freezer and add to meal.
