Yum! I made this with leftover chicken... delicious! I didn't like the enchilada sauce that is used as an ingredient in the recipe, so I didn't think I would like it. But when you add the other ingredients it makes a great sauce!! Thanks!

OMG!!! This recipe is a new family favorite! My picky 10 year old even loved it! I would not change a single thing. I would not even dare add chicken or anything else to this! Highly Highly recommended! A different twist on the beef enchilada! Thank you posting this one

I do not understad why the previous reviewer gave this a bad review. It is a "CHEESE ENCHILADA" recipe... not a chicken enchilada. Anyways, I thought it was very good. Whenever I make enchiladas I always have to make a few that are just cheese for the kids. I will be using this recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I'm not a fan of cheese enchiladas but I made them for my kids (minus the onions). I wasn't going to eat some but they smelled and looked really good so I did and I was not disappointed at all. These were good...thanks!
