These enchiladas were a waste of time and money. The zucchini was tough and the enchilada sauce was bland.

I was disappointed with these enchiladas. The zucchini was not cooked through and the enchilada sauce was watery.

These enchiladas were just okay. The zucchini was bland and the enchilada sauce was too spicy for my taste.
