These did not quite work out for me. They had flavor but I don't think I'll make them again.

    This is a good recipe and I will make them again, only next time I'll put less cream cheese in each tortilla because they were a bit too rich for my taste. My husband liked them the way they were but next time the slight adjustment of less cream cheese would make them perfect.

    Absolutely delicious, substituted taco seasoning for the cilantro and cumin (kids don't like it), but this was very easy and tasted great. I have tried many chicken enchilada recipes and this is by far the best.

    These enchiladas our outstanding! In my opinion, the cilantro and cream cheese kicks it up a notch from ordinary to extra special. I added a can of rotel to the diced chicken mixture and also a little extra cheese. Thanks for a great recipe!
