This is now my favorite chicken enchilada dish and the homemade sauce was delicious!

Yummly User 9 months ago
Delicious! Bye, canned enchilada sauce! Used half chili powder and half chipotle chili powder to make it spicy. Served with shredded lettuce, tomato, white onion, cilantro lime sauce, & fresh lime.

I user flour tortillas. I’m going to use rotisserie chicken and a can of enchilada sauce to make this a quick weeknight meal. Top w diced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and avocado slices. Romaine side.

Delicious. We added on top cilantro, tapenade w olive + fig, salsa, shredded iceberg lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes. What a meal!

Easy peasy, added pepper, garlic powder, cumin and chili powder to season the chicken and instead mixed all the fillings together to put into the tortillas. Sour cream and avocado on top.

I used the homemade sauce recipe. It’s a little more prep but can be done well ahead of time. Everything goes together very easily and tastes good.

Needed a little more flavor. I also put to much chicken in tortillas so needed more 1/2 way into recipe. Easy recipe to follow.

This is a favorite in our kitchen now! My fiancé loves this! Definitely make the homemade sauce if you’re questioning making it or just buying a store enchilada sauce. It’s the best enchilada sauce I’ve ever had.

Homemade sauce is a plus. Only need a bit more cheese - will make again :) Thank you for sharing

Amazing! Quick and easy, mostly because I cheated with ready made rotisserie chicken and store bought enchilada sauce. Needed a quick fix up today. Bonus: my cheese hating kid and my tomato sauce hating kid loved it!

A very easy recipe. My family of 3 gobbled all 12 enchiladas up in one sitting. I used a rotisserie chicken from Walmart & added a few spices like chili powder, cumin, chipotle chili powder & garlic powder. I cheated & used Old El Paso canned enchilada sauce to save time. I used the combo Colby/ Monterey Jack shredded cheese. Garnished with bits of tomato, red onion & cilantro like the picture showed. Will definitely make again!

Very good! Used rotisserie chicken and white corn tortillias. The use of the galon ziplock to keep them warm was brilliant

The enchilada sauce was key to making this recipe. The sauce was wonderful. I’ve made it twice now. The first time I made it I substituted ground chicken for the shredded chicken the recipe called for. The enchiladas were delicious. The second time I made the dish I used shredded chicken that I had shredded after cooking in a crockpot. This time my wife said the enchiladas were better than anything we could get at a Mexican restaurant. We ended up freezing half of the batch.
I plan to thaw the enchiladas and serve them this coming week. I’ll come back and finish the review after eating the thawed enchiladas.
I plan to use the enchilada sauce in other ways since we both enjoyed it so much. It was easy to make and I know what the ingredients are that we’re eating.

The sauce turned out great! One of the best enchilada recipe I’ve made. Will make again. My kids approved.

I used can enchilad sauce and it work fine. Use a couple of frozen chicken breast and did a 25 boil to cook them. Turned out great. Wife and even my Son liked the meal... He usually doesnt eat what I make....

Making it again tonight. Yowsa!

Used my own green sauce, added pico to chicken. Loved all the hints.

Yummly User 3 years ago
Very good....
sauce is delicious.
I used a corn/wheat blend tortilla and it made them easy to roll after heating them .
I needed to cook them longer.
I was affraid they would dry out.

I added yellow peppers, really good!!!!!

Yummly User 3 years ago
Good dish, would use a little more enchilada sauce inside of the enchiladas next time.

Yummly User 3 years ago
Sauce is awesome! Will cook this again

My family liked this recipe. The flavor in the enchilada sauce was good. It made enough sauce for me to make an extra batch to freeze. I added sautéed peppers and onions and tomatoes to my enchiladas.

Great recipe easy to make and delicious

Yum!! Added sautéed onions, peppers and zucchini with the chicken.

Yummly User 3 years ago
Very good. Seasoned the chicken with cumin. Make sure to use all of the optional toppings: sour cream, onions, tomatoes, cilantro. I used Las Palamas enchilada sauce (medium heat).
