We recently moved from Texas to another state. Needless to say, we have been unsuccessful at finding good Mexican food. So I decided to make these for my family. Oh Wow! They were awsome. Well worth the extra time it took. I did make a few changes. I used a package of chicken tenders and marinated them in the McCormick Southwest marinade (dry mix that you add oil and vinegar to) as per someone's recomendation. However, I ended up wiping most of it off because I was worried it would overpower the taste. I did leave a little on and it seemed to be just enough. I also left out the chilis because I wanted my kids to be able to eat it. (with the marinade, Rotel and ench. sauce it was plenty flavorful.) I put my stewed tomatos through the food processor for a smoother texture and I was out of green onion so I just left that out and had no problems. If you do decide to make these, DO NOT SKIP the warming of the tortillas in the cream. Not a fan of corn tortillas myself, I had never tried this technique so I gave it a shot. You will be amazed at the difference. Just make sure you let them get really soft. After I had them all dipped, filled and rolled, I took the rest of the skillet mixture, combined it with equal parts canned enchilada sauce (Rosarita) and spooned it over the top. Then I added the rest of the cheese, popped it in the oven and seved it up with some black beans and Mexican rice. We will have these again soon!!! Thanks!

I was thinking this better be good with all the time they took to cook. It paid off. I don't recommend if you work to try and come home and make these. I didn't get done cooking until 9:30 pm. I decided to leave the uncook enchiladas in the fridge and cook them the next night. They were excellent !!!

I used flour torts dipped in milk rather than corn dipped in cream. I also added 1/2 tsp chili powder and 1/4 tsp cayenne. They turned out quite delicious. The only mistake I made is reducing the sauce too much - I wound up a little short. (I think this recipe would be equally good if not better with lean ground beef as well.)

This may very well be the longest rating I've ever done. First, what a pain in the rear to make. I recommend heating the corn tortillas up in the microwave for a minute or so before you even bother with the cream. I'm not sure what the cream did for this, but whatever. I'm guessing that I didn't let them soak long enough and so they broke up which is why I heated mine up. Second, it's totally worth it! I marinated the chicken in one cup margarita mix & ground pepper. I used a poblano pepper for it's mildness. I drained the tomatoes and onions out of the soup to please the children. I made 4 with only the wonderfully seasoned chicken a small amount of cheese, topped with Hatch's Enchilada Sauce. I made 6 with all the fixings, which I added back into the chicken. I found I still had another 4 enchiladas to make and no soup left, so I rolled them up and topped it off with the half a can of enchilada sauce that I had left. I can't believe these annoyingly long-to-make enchiladas were worth the time and effort, but they were. Thank you, Gerry.

This was really good. I followed the recipe as close as possible but I cut down the work by not marinating the chicken as it gets flavored from the sauce anyway. I also shredded the chicken in the food processor by slowly pulsing until it was all shredded. I added canned green chiles and also added about 1/4 or so of sour cream to the chicken mixture. I didn't soak the tortillas and it worked out fine for me. Tasted like the ones at restaurants. Thanks for the recipe!!

Doubled the recipe. Used a Baja chipotle marinade. As with pretty much every recipe, I added fresh minced garlic. Changed the onion to a shallot & added onion powder. Used a can of southwest pepperjack soup (was going to use two and realized I hadn’t bought enough so ended up using cream of mushroom instead – worked out great). Also added some chipotle into the sauce while it simmered. Used flour tortillas (personal preference) and made the red enchilada sauce from AllRecipes. My friends couldn’t get enough – thanks Gerry!

This has to be one of the meals I've received the most praise from! I've been making it for quite some time now, and although it still takes a while, I'm getting better at cutting down the time. I use about a half of a bag of frozen chicken tenders you can buy from HEB or any other grocery store, and don't use the chile peppers, as it is just perfect for my taste without them. Instead of reducing the sauce I use it all, splitting it between two pans of enchiladas - since I use more chicken I always have enough for two batches, which ends up being perfect for the amount of sauce made. Also I have always used flour tortillas when making this recipe and wouldn't go any other way. I've also used this recipe to make chicken tacos instead of the enchiladas, which are great as well.

Excellent recipe! You could sell it! I made it with the Red Enchilada Sauce recipe by Sara, but I think canned would work fine also, and I marinated the chicken with Southwest marinade. Warning: this recipe is a lot of work!

Well, as other people have said, it was very time consuming but worth it in the end. Everyone loved these. I think next time I'll use a stewing hen or chicken legs to cut down on the cost. I made the 10 minute enchilada sauce found on this site. It went with it quite well I thought. For some reason I got double the amount of enchilads even though I followed the recipe, which was great since everyone got their fill. I will definitely make these again.

This recipe is excellent and my family really enjoyed it. I would make it again in a heartbeat, and wouldn't hesitate to serve it to company. I used McCormick's Grill Mates Southwest Marinade for the chicken and added a can of diced green chilles. Outstanding!

I have been making this same recipe for years. It is time comsuming, but well worth it. I always double it, because I usually make it for family get togethers. I use a Southwest marinade (I think it's McCormick's powdered one that you add oil to). It is the BEST enchilada recipe I have ever made. Whenever I find a faster one to try, it's never the same. I will never use another one. One tip...I put the chicken mix in fridge to cool, and this is when I do clean up to start on next steps.

I have varied this recipe based on what ingredients I have and on how much time I have to cook, but every time I get rave reviews! No one can get enough of these enchiladas! I prefer corn tortillas and my husband likes flour, so I usually make some of each in the same batch. I reccomend using the recipe for Tequila Lime chicken from this website to marinate the chicken before cooking.

These are great and a nice change for enchiladas if you're tired of the same old everyday enchiladas. The sauce has a great taste. Only changes were using canned chiles instead of fresh and I added cilantro and olives to the filling. I thought dipping the tortillas in the cream was a strange and unnecessary step. However, the first time I didn't use it and the second time I did...it really makes a difference! This recipe does take a while, but it is not at all labor intensive, most of the ingredients are canned.

Wow these took forever to make. They were pretty good, but not worth all the work and the cleanup (you use soo many dishes and pans). As for the recipe itself, I was pleased for the most part although I had a hard time getting the sauce to thicken and it made it pretty runny. I made the enchilada sauce using the recipe from this website and it was a nice touch. I used half corn tortillas and half large flour, and my husband preferred the flour tortillas saying they held together better (it was hard to fit much filling in the corn tortillas) although both types tasted good.
