I used 7 larger tortillas in this recipe & probably a bit more shredded chicken (which I always have on hand, frozen) & that worked out just fine ~ More than fine, really, as THESE ARE REALLY GREAT TASTING ENCHILADAS! The garnish is particularly nice! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the ZINGO part of Zaar World Tour 5]

Good creamy enchiladas. I cut the recipe in half and followed the directions exactly for the sause and made it into a casserole. I used a a 4x4" baking dish and 4. 8" flour tortillas. I prefer to use smaller pieces of tortilla in my casserole so I tore the tortillas into smaller pieces. Then I used a cooking spray to grease my baking dish so the bottom layer of tortillas would not stick to the dish, and layered tortilla pieces with cheese and sauce. I baked the casserole in the oven until the sauce was bubbly and starting to brown just a little. Thanks for posting this great recipe. Made for ZWT5.

These were great - very tasty! We especially enjoyed the very flavorful sauce - that was very easy to make and so nice that it was from "scratch" rather that a can of condensed soup. We might use this recipe with cooked with shredded pork too. We only had corn tortillas so I substituted them. Oops - they almost completely dissolved into the sauce - great flavor - but leaving shapless enchiladas. Next time we'll try the flour ones as you wrote. Thanks Jamilah's Kitchen. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT5.

Thanks for visiting my page and reviewing my recipes. I found Zaar after I got married and it's been such a lifesaver and so much fun. I enjoy the games and DH and DS enjoy the food!I usually work as a surgical tech but since my son was born I moved into my new profession as a stay at home mom. It's a nice change I've been enjoying it and it gives me more time to COOK! I like to share recipes that I enjoy or have eaten at some of my fav places. I'm a San Diegan currently living in New York with my Husband and our 15month old Son.

When I first came to zaar I recipe selected mostly 4 and 5 rated recipes but now after playing several games and seeing the different ways people review. I realize so many recipes miss a good chance. So now I just go by ingredients or a good idea and choose my recipes based on that. I've been lucky enough to grow up eating a variety of cuisines from various cultures and have eaten at some really great restaurants from hole in the wall to 5star. So I let my palate do the choosing and so far I've had pretty good luck picking recipes.
I don't generally rate recipes by cooking time or exact measurement of ingredients unless it's a baking recipe or the temp and time were just way off. I also won't give a bad rating because of my lack of ingredients or skill. I don't measure when I cook unless it's baking. I give the recipe a good read and eyeball the amounts. This works for me. I know everyone has different tastes and I will be hard pressed to give a rating of 3 unless it just really didn't work for me. I don't see any reason to hurt anyone's feelings when I can just give a detailed review of my changes or no rating instead.
