My tortillas got soggy really fast so I switched them out for corn tortillas an it worked great. Also, my chicken mixture was really 'liquidey' so I filled my tortillas using a slotted spoon and used the left over liquid mixed with the enchilada aside to top them off

So good! I took another reviewer's tip and used green enchilada sauce and Monterey jack cheese. Excellent! A new favorite that will be made often. Thanks!

I made this tonight, it was delicious even my husband who doesn't like Mexican food said he was so surprised how good it was. I did not use the broth based on other reviews. I did use cream of chicken soup, low fat cheese and I ground up the salsa because my daughter does not likes hunks of tomatoes in her food lol. I also bought a rotisserie chicken from the store to save time. I served it with Mexican rice and sour cream. I will make this again, thank you for such an easy recipe.

Very easy recipe to follow. My very picky eater kids loved it, they went back for seconds! I thought it tasted a little bland, needed a little kick to it. I also used corn tortillas instead of flour. Will def. try again.
