Salsa Verde Enchiladas image

The lime juice really helps to perk up the flavor of these mild enchiladas. If you want them to be spicier you can serve them with hot sauce or chopped jalapenos on the side. Or if you can find it, you can use the Herdez brand salsa verde hot instead of mild. The recipe originated from Good Housekeeping magazine, but I have made changes to suit my family.

These enchiladas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They're also very freezer-friendly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my enchiladas were a disaster. The salsa verde was too runny and the chicken was overcooked.

I'm a vegetarian so I used black beans instead of chicken. The enchiladas were still very good!

I followed the recipe exactly and the enchiladas turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more cheese.

These enchiladas were just okay. The salsa verde was a bit bland and the chicken was dry.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatillos, but I really enjoyed these enchiladas. The salsa verde was not too tart and the chicken was very moist.
