These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices to the sauce.

I love these enchiladas! They're so easy to make, and they always come out delicious. I usually use black beans instead of corn, and I add a little bit of sour cream to the sauce. Yum!

The enchiladas were easy to make and turned out great! I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The sauce was delicious, and the cheese was melted and gooey.
