I am totally biased for chicken enchiladas to be made with corn
tortillas and green enchilada sauce. Recently I have seen several TV
people (and read several elsewhere) prepare chicken enchiladas with
flour tortillas and red sauce. I found this repulsive, but maybe I am
all wrong. What say you, enchilada experts?

if they use flour tortillas, they aren't making enchiladas and should
call them something else. Red sauce is fine, though I have to agree that
green sauce is better with chicken.
Of course, these days, people make up some concoction with apple flavor
and call it a Martini, so I guess nothing is sacred anymore.
As far as enchiladas go, I don't make them. Living in Los Angeles, great
enchiladas are too easy and cheap to come by and way too much work to do
at home. I've stopped making my own pizza and a few other things for the
same reason. But I DO make 90% of my own bread.
Mind you, my receptionist at work makes fantastic enchiladas, both
chicken with green sauce and beef with red sauce when we have a pot luck.

I like chicken enchiladas made with corn tortillas and green sauce. The sauce that I like is Hatch green chili enchilada sauce - it uses green chilies instead of tomatillas.

a pretty good recipe for enchiladas pollo con salsa verde is the one in the Texas Women cookbook, Seguin Chicken enchiladas. I much prefer the chicken with tomatillo sauce (salsa verde) to the one with red sauce.
And yes, you use white corn tortillas, not yellow corn, or flour.
Flour disintegrate, actually.
What I learned about making the chicken filling? you use a couple of forks to shred the hot roast chicken meat! Never would have known.
