This recipe is quite bland if followed to the T...due mainly to the fact that it is a generic recipe by the company, but with a few moderation ...it wAs amazing. Instead of plain pre-cooked chicken. Pre marinate chicken (lime&cilantro) . Diced tomatoes with jalapeño instead of regular non-salted tomatoes. I also added a little more of salt as well as chili powder and freshly diced garlic. I also added freshly diced Serrano peppers during the onion sauteeing process. Add all the ingredients and let it all simmer for like 20 minutes. Add some shredded cheese on top then the more sauce. Then we are good to go! It's definitely a keeper in a weekday menu

I used onion powder in place of onion and did not have any no-salt tomatoes, so I used a can of tomatoes with green chiles. I also put a little extra shredded cheese on top before baking.

Easy and good. I didnt have the Santa Fe cooking creme, I had the garlic one, so I sprinkled in some low sodium taco seasoning. I also used the chili-style tomatoes like the previous reviewer and I sprinkled shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas. Will make these again. These arent the best enchiladas I have ever made, but for ease of preparation and the result, I give it 5 stars.
