Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas image

A little different version of a family favorite. Whenever we grill or smoke chicken I always request that my husband do a little extra, so that there is enough to make chicken enchiladas the next night.

These enchiladas were very easy to make and they turned out great! I used a store-bought enchilada sauce and it worked perfectly. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I used a mild salsa instead of a medium salsa and they were still plenty spicy. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use a milder salsa next time.

These enchiladas were a bit too cheesy for my taste, but they were still very good. I used a reduced-fat cheese and it helped to cut down on the calories. I will definitely be making these again, but I will use less cheese next time.

I made these enchiladas with ground beef instead of chicken and they were delicious! The beef was browned and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas were just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was bland. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
