Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
3.Add 1/2 cup chili sauce, pine nuts, raisins, cinnamon and allspice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

5.Stir in chicken and remove from the heat.
6.Spread 1/2 cup remaining chili sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
7.Dip 4 tortillas in the remaining sauce to coat. Layer the tortillas in the pan and top with 1/3 of the chicken mixture and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers twice, starting with tortillas and ending with cheese.
8.Bake the casserole until it is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
9.Toss radishes with lime juice in a large bowl; drizzle in oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add cabbage and cilantro; toss to combine. Serve each portion of enchiladas with a generous pile of the slaw.
