 Elaine Jones (Texas) says:
The enchiladas were delicious! I used nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

 Lynn West (Alabama) says:
I'm making this using the roterisserie chicken and sautéing my onions a bit. For spice, I've added a little cumin and squeezed a little fresh lime on each. I will garnish with cilantro and serve!

 CA Cullum (Arkansas) says:
I make these all the time and add a little chili powder and cumin to my chicken. I also saute my onions and add a little garlic. Then, in my sauce, I add about a half cup of corn salsa. It's pretty and tastes yummy! After adding cheese on top, I top with a few sliced jalapenos. These also are easy to make ahead and freeze!

 Janet Spaulding (Vermont) says:
Instead of onions with the chicken & cheese I used an extra can of the green chili's. It probably was just a fluke but had a hard time finding plain corn tortilla's but did find some made with flour & corn. They were great and due to time constraint didn't even fry them prior to rolling. It still came out great and to rave reviews.

 Pam DeCamp (Michigan) says:
Very good receipe. Used rotisserie chicken and I sautéed the onion before adding to chicken mixture. It made a huge amount of sauce to cover the enchiladas with. I would cut the chicken broth down in half as the original receipe drowns in too much sauce. I also added some cilantro and garlic powder to add extra flavor to sauce. Overall very yummy and easy to make.

 Mariam (Oklahoma) says:
This was really good. I don't think it needs any more seasoning. I used flour tortillas and I will probably sauté the onions next time I make this because they didn't cook completely in the oven.

If you want is spicer, I put 3 Serrano peppers in a blender and added the chicken broth. Blend it and follow direction.

 Jae (Louisiana) says:
This is a great recipe. It's something that you can build on if you like. I used a can of Rotel tomatoes with diced chili (what I had on hand) and I also used taco season for the chicken once shredded. I love mushrooms so I did a light sautée with the onions. This went over well with friends and family

This was so good! Better than anything I have ever had in a restaurant. The only thing I added was some onion and garlic powder to the chicken mixture.

 Babytoothdoc (Florida) says:
Great recipe -- we enjoyed it very much. I grew up in South Texas so I seasoned the chicken as I would for any Tex Mex dish (with comino, onion, garlic, peppers and tomatoes). Served it with Mexican rice and refried beans. I also used pepper jack cheese. Delicioso!

Fantastic! Made as written but added a little cumin to the chicken and sauce. Very good easy recipe!

 Rachel (Minnesota) says:
This recipe is amazing. However I did add about half a teaspoon of cumin and oh my goodness it made all the difference! I also cooked two boneless skinless chicken breast in a crockpot covered them with salsa and taco seasoning. Shredded them and I used flour tortillas and made fresh guacamole to top the enchiladas!
