These are so yummy! I usually reduce recipes to 2 servings........but I didn't on this one so that I would be able to have leftovers the next day. So glad I did! These are easy to make and so delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This was a hit with everyone. It went great with refried beans from another game. Definitely a 5 star recipe.

Easy and delicious! I will grudgingly admit that DH said they were the best enchiladas he's ever had. Being Mexican, I take pride in my homemade enchilada sauce and method. BUT, I will also admit that these were VERY VERY GOOD. The worst thing about making authentic enchiladas is the effort and calories of softening the tortillas in oil. I did use corn tortillas for this, and followed the microwave instructions for heating. Doubled the recipe for the two of us. Perfect! The filling was divine... We'll be making these again, as they are absolutely delicious and easy to make. I think it will depend on the salsa one uses - we used a brand called Que Vida that was inexpensive and tasted homemade. Thanks for posting - I think we'll be having enchiladas much more frequently!!!

I wish more food that was good for us tasted as great as these enchiladas! Did double the recipe so I would have some for lunch the next day and used two pouches of Tyson chicken breast. I did not add the cilantro or jalapeno pepper. Topped with sour cream and salsa with a little extra cheese. Delicious! Thank you Marramamba for sharing this recipe with us. Made and reviewed for the FYC tag game.
