Yummy Tex-Mex Chicken Enchiladas image

Promise you'll like 'em! My mom found this recipe in a newspaper many years ago. It has been a favorite of mine all my life. It's simple, tasty, and makes great leftovers. You can add or subtract any of the ingredients to suit your taste. You might want to make a little extra, the filling makes a great dip and you may not be able to keep your fingers out of it! (prep time doesn't include cooking chicken).

I've made these enchiladas several times now and they're always a hit. They're easy to make and the flavor is amazing. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on

These enchiladas were easy to make and tasted great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still delicious. The sauce was flavorful and the cheese was gooey and melted. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

I thought these enchiladas were just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a little too tangy for my taste. I would probably make them again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

These enchiladas were a little bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the filling. Otherwise, they were easy to make and the presentation was beautiful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the enchiladas turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cheese to the filling. Otherwise, they were delicious!
