I like making mine from scratch, but it's an all day thing. For times when I want to cheat, here's what I do.
1 package of tortillas
1 box Zatarains dirty rice (needs 1 pound of burger) or 1 box of Zatarains black bean and rice mix.
2 cans of enchilada sauce
Lots of cheddar
Make either the dirty rice or the black beans and rice. Use that as the filling with some cheese and roll up. You know the rest, sauce on the bottom, enchiladas in, sauce on the top, lots of cheese. To give it a nice presentation, sprinkle the top with 1 little can of sliced black olives. Bake as usual.

You need:
a pack of tortillas
2 cans of chicken
2 cans of enchilada sauce
2 bags of shredded cheese
Mix together the chicken, one bag of shredded cheese, one can of enchilada sauce. Coat the bottom of a baking dish with some of the other can. Put the mixture in tortillas and wrap them up. Dump the rest of the enchilada sauce on top. Cover with the last bag of cheese.
You can get creative with this if you want, like adding onions and peppers, use leftover roasted chicken and shred it, top with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, etc

doesn't get any easier than this:
Take a bag of tortilla chips, and lay them on the bottom of a casserole dish.
Pour enchilada sauce over tortilla chips.
Take cooked ground beef or cooked shredded chicken and make next layer.
Next comes cheese, green onion, and olives.
Cover with foil, and cook for 30 minutes @ 350.
