Easy Chicken Enchilada Quiche Recipe for Any Meal

If you've been with me very long, you know I love to make quiche for my family. Whether it's my Easy Sausage Quiche, cheesy Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche or Kentucky Hot Brown Quiche perfect for Derby Day brunching, it never lasts very long on our table. I've often said, whoever coined the saying "Real men don't eat quiche" has never met my house full of boys. They love it. Our affinity for Mexican flavors led me to develop this variation of quiche and it was an instant hit.
