Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large onion, peeled, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded, chopped
1 large zucchini, chopped
1 cup chicken breast, cooked, diced
1 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, no salt added

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of enchiladas, but I really enjoyed these. The vegetables added a nice freshness and the chicken was very flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my enchiladas didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

The enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

These enchiladas were a great way to use up leftover chicken. They were flavorful and cheesy, and the vegetables added a nice touch.

Absolutely delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken and store-bought enchilada sauce to save time, and it still turned out amazing. The whole family loved it.
