We enjoyed these tonight for dinner. I had a frozen bag of cooked turkey to use up and decided on this recipe. I used a little less butter and left out the chilis (because the kids don't like them). We thought they were creamy and tasty and I served them with Mexican rice and refried beans. Thanks.

    I loved these! And that's coming from someone who regularly eats out at authentic mexican restaurants. However, I made the following modifications: used extra chicken, cheese, and green chilis, used jalapeno mont. jack, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and shredded rather than cut it up...for convenience as well as the texture. I made two batches one with corn and one with flour tortillas. HIGHLY recommend flour over corn. The corn batch was barely touched, they were dry and had much less taste. And contrary to another reviewer, I loved the leftovers (the flour tortillas that is)!

    I would give this 10 stars if I could! We really liked these. My husband even complimented me on them twice - his standard comment is "it's okay." And that's only if I ask...but with these he said first that they were awfully good! I made the recipe exactly as directed, using flour tortillas. The dish I used was slightly smaller than it should have been, so I only had room for 6 tortillas. I mixed the remaining chicken with the sauce and poured it all over the enchiladas and continued as directed. But I made no changes to the ingredients or proportions. The only thing I might do differently is to add a bit more sauce to the chicken before stuffing the tortillas.
