Surprisingly good. There are many food allergies in my household (onions, wheat, dairy...), so I made a few modifications. We cannot eat store cooked chicken, so I slow cooked a grass fed beff roast in the crockpot with homemade abode sauce, cilantro, cloves, bay leaf, and homemade veggy stock. I also substituted GF brown rice tortillas for flour. Served with vegan parma and soy-based sour cream.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! Awesome just the way it is!!! And HEALTHY!!! Thanks gema!!! I did do two things differently. Instead frying the tortillas, I put them in the microwave for one minute. Also, I use real chicken stock instead of bouillon. I will make this recipe again and again! Very authentic and tasty!!!

5 stars for flavor, but 4 stars for ease of preparation! This was for me a messy, complicated affair. Do not skip warming the corn tortillas in oil. This is an important part of the authentic flavor of this dish. I followed the recipe to a "T", and we quite enjoyed the flavor--fresh, bright, tangy, softened by the crema. I have to say, though, my sauce never did thicken up, even after simmering for at least an hour.

Wow these are amazing. Will be making again and again. I don't think I've ever had homemade green enchilada sauce before! So easy to make!!! I did broil the sauce ingredients - much easier. Also I doubled the recipe and only used two serrano peppers, which for me made it perfect with just a little zing to it.

Excellent! I was a bit unorganized and when it came to serving time, they were not as hot temperature wise. The taste was very very good. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you Gema!

to make it simple, I slow cooked a pork loin roast in a jar of salsa verde instead. Now it may taste even better when following the recipe exactly, but it tasted great this way! Even my older kids liked it.

Followed all the ingredients and prep directions (except softened tortillas in microwave wrapped in damp paper towels/30 sec). Made a double recipe. Packaged up and refrigerated 1 batch so we can serve some as directed in the recipe. The sauce is very spicy hot. If you want it milder, be sure to remove the seeds from the peppers. Since I was the only one home, I decided to make layered enchiladas with the remaining batch. That way my family could serve themselves when they came home. I added the crema & cilantro to the sauce (which cut the heat/spice a little). Cut softened tortillas into 1" strips and used 2 cups of cotija. Put thin layer of sauce on bottom of 9"x13" dish. Continued layering as follows: 1/2 of tortilla strips, 1/2 of chicken, 1/2 of Cojita cheese, 1/2 of Sauce repeat layers once. Put the few remaining tortilla strips on top. Baked uncovered at 400F for 25-30 min. Husband tried the original sauce and told me to keep this recipe. He plans to add a little salt and use the sauce on tacos, etc. So far this recipe has been a hit with the whole family. Fortunately we like lots of spice.

I followed the recipe exactly except that I baked them as I had prepared them early on Christmas day. Delicious!

followed the directions close as possible while demonstrating in-front of a class but had to make a few alterations. Such as the amount of water, i would have used maybe 1 cup maybe less considering after i poured maybe 2 cups it got super liquidy and i had to put cornstarch in to thicken it up. As for the roasting the garlic, peppers, and tamatillos that went down the drain completely; I had to stick them in the oven after 30 minutes and not seeing much difference. Over all the sauce was good and everyone liked the dish but i would have left out cotija cheese beacuse people were complaining it tasted rubbery (i'm not sure if that's how the cheese is supposed to taste) overall i wouldn't mind making this again only if i didn't have to go out and buy the ingredients.
