I had some trouble rolling the enchiladas. The tortillas were a bit too stiff. I think I would've had better luck if I had warmed them up first.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would've enjoyed them more if I had added more spices to the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of enchiladas, but these were really good. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make these again.

I've made these enchiladas several times now and they're always a hit. They're easy to make and the flavor is fantastic. I love that I can use chicken breasts or thighs, depending on what I have on hand.

I made these enchiladas last night and they were amazing! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and not too spicy. My husband and I both loved them.
