This is one of those dishes that's a cooking life saver. It's simple, with just four ingredients, and can be put together in no time. I didn't know what to make and I had some minced/ground chicken in the fridge and hubby wanted Mexican so we did a search and found this recipe. I had everything at home and thought WOW what a wonderful find! I followed the recipe as is and the whole family really enjoyed it. Thank you catht

Why is the ground chicken in "grams" and the salsa is in "ml"? I plan to make this but will be adding more "natural" flavor to spice it up more. Guacamole, (on the side) scallions chopped into the meat and a scotch bonnet pepper. Rice on the side as well and instead of sour cream, Greek yogurt.

My family loved these enchiladas. The only change I made was I didn't add salsa to the bottom & top of the enchiladas. Served with sour cream as a topper. Great Recipe... Thanks... I just made these for the second time & they were even better than the first time. I cooked a package of Lipton Taco Rice & added it in with the chicken mixture before I put it into the tortillas. Yum!

Was terrible...I would suggest seasoning the meat first. I guess it would pass for Tex Mex up north but not here.??

This is pretty much like my recipe, but I use ground beef. I also add a package of Taco seasoning in with beef. I know, it's not the most healthiest addition with all that sodium, but it tastes so good. Everything in moderation!!
