Cheese and Chicken Enchiladas image

Believe me, I am not much of Mexican food eater. But this dish is fantastic! And it may be because it doesn't have a lot of the "authentic" ingredients that a lot of other enchiladas do. But, every time I serve them, I get rave reviews!

I'm not a big fan of enchiladas, but I thought these were pretty good. The chicken was tender and the cheese sauce was flavorful.

I thought these enchiladas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These enchiladas were a complete disaster! The chicken was tough, the cheese sauce was bland, and the tortillas were soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found the recipe to be a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

The chicken enchiladas were a bit dry, but the cheese sauce was very good.
