I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish turned out terrible. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't taste good.

Overall, this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I had to tone it down by adding some sour cream.

The rice was a bit mushy for my liking. I think I'll cook it for a shorter time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

I've tried many chicken enchilada rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The rice is cooked perfectly and the flavor is amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
