Comments: I tried this recipe for the first time last night. I liked it because it wasn't spicy. I don't like spicy foods. My husband said it was good but a little too bland for a Mexican dish. He said it would have been better in a spicy red sauce.

AWSOME !!

Comments: My family loved this recipe! My boyfriend sometimes complains that he "has to be in the right mood for Mexican food" and won't eat it, but he loved these. He even said they taste like something he had had in a restaurant previously. I didn't have any leftover cooked chicken, so I sliced two chicken breasts extra thin and sprinkled them with Mexican seasoning before tossing them in a grill pan. This added some flavor. It was great with Spanish rice and chips and salsa.

Cheeseeee

Comments: I recently made these cheese chicken enchiladas for a dinner party and my guests absolutely loved them. Instead of cooking the chicken I grilled it and cut into thin long slices! I will try this dish again, it was quick and easy, and best of all deliciously cheese.
