Turned out absolutely delicious! Very easy to make and everyone loved them! I would recommend using flour tortillas instead of corn, but that’s a preference :)

Thanks for sharing the recipe. I added cilantro and chopped jalapeños and chopped onion to the mixture, otherwise followed the recipe, delicious.

i have made this several times, and it is always a hit. i made it with ground beef and green sauce this time and it was still a delicious hit.

This was my first time trying enchiladas in my life and I would like to say WOWWWW this app is a real help . Tasted very authentic . Of course I added seasonings to my liking such as cumin , onion and garlic powder . Along with bean and Spanish rice on the side . DELICIOUS

Used one whole rotisserie chicken, yielded 14 oz of shredded chicken (no fat or skin). Used flour tortillas instead of corn. Made the enchiladas the night before and added the rest of the enchilada sauce and cheese the day of. Couldn't be easier. They were a hit!

it's a great, easy toss in the oven, dinner. gotta do the black beans on the side though. add salt and pepper here and there

As a white father who cooks for my Hispanic family, I tend to spice it up a bit with chilis, cumin, ancho chili powder, and so on..

Instead of Mexican cheese use Asiago cheese block and shred with homemade red enchilada sauce, this one’s good
