I created this twist on enchiladas one night when I wanted an easy oven meal and had extra tortillas on hand. It turned out better than I expected. Pair it with steamed green beans or a tossed salad, and dinner is ready! -Yvonne Opp, Greenville, Pennsylvania

I'm not a huge fan of Italian food, but these enchiladas were surprisingly good. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I would definitely recommend them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my enchiladas didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The sauce was too thin and the chicken was dry.

The enchiladas were easy to make, but they were a bit dry. I think they would have been better with more sauce.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think they could have used more seasoning.

I've made these enchiladas several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love the versatility of the recipe - I've used different types of cheese, vegetables, and even meats. It's a great way to use up leftovers, too.

The instructions were easy to follow and the dish turned out great. I used a jarred Alfredo sauce to save time, but I think it would be even better with a homemade sauce.

These enchiladas were a hit with my family! The combination of Italian and Mexican flavors was unique and delicious. I especially loved the creamy Alfredo sauce and the crispy mozzarella cheese. I will definitely be making these again.
