I double the meat and cheese because my family likes more filling than tortillas. The taste was great and I will definitely make this again. I love how quick and easy this recipe is.

Needs a little more seasoning for my taste, but they turn out great. First time making enchiladas (& trying them lol). We used small corn tortillas so we had 20 total. My 2 year old and 4 year old asked me to make them again sometime. My boyfriend said they were amazing but also agreed a little more seasoning for next time. Thank you for this Yummy recipe ❤️

My meal turned out great. Vary flavorful and the garnish added to the recipe enhanced the presentation of the dish. I will be adding this one to the weekly cook list. Minimal preparation and quick cook time.

This is a great starter recipe. I'm always looking for ways to make family faves more feasible on busy days. It takes a lot of courage to post a recipe for the whole world to critique so thank you. I added a few more spices and was pleased with the outcome. This is a solid beginner recipe and is very easily built on.

Tasty and easy to make, although a little bland. Also, Yummly, don’t list the same ingredient twice on opposite ends of the ingredients list. Instead, say “two cans of …”.

my husband and 2 year old really enjoyed this. I did do it a little different from the recipe. my husband hates peppers so I used zucchinni instead. also I didnt have 2 jars of enchilada sauce so I used 1 jar and marinara sauce. I had lots of extra filling that I couldnt squeeze into the tortillas so I topped them with the remaining toppings before adding the cheese on top.

Easy enough to make and very flavorful! I accidentally got a red sauce that was a bit too spicy, but the whole meal made up for that. Add sour cream and avocado!

Substituted roasted chicken for ground beef and mixed the enchilada sauce with cheese for a queso consistency and was delicious!!!

the flavor was good, but my tortillas were not pliable and ugly. needs more than 2 cups of cheese

Added 2 tsp of garlic and it was very flavorful. A bit soggy so I think I'll use a bit less enchilada sauce in the pan and on top next time but overall very good and we all liked it! My 1 year old even approved!
