This recipe is okay. It's not the best enchilada recipe I've ever had, but it's not bad either.

I'm not a fan of this recipe. It's not bad, but it's not my favorite.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler enchilada recipe next time.

I'm not sure why, but my enchiladas fell apart when I tried to roll them up. Maybe I overcooked the tortillas.

The cheese sauce in this recipe is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my enchiladas turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I found this recipe to be too time-consuming. I ended up using a store-bought enchilada sauce and it was still good.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with black beans and sweet potatoes instead of chicken. It was still delicious and very filling.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the cheesy enchiladas and didn't even notice the hidden veggies.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe and it turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken, and I used a store-bought enchilada sauce. It was still delicious and my family loved it.
