This is a really good recipe. I did make some changes for a few reasons. I used canned chicken breasts because I was trying to test to see if this would be easy enough to make while camping. I still cooked it in the pan with garlic it just didnt cook as long. I doubled the garlic.. we are garlic fans round here. I used green enchilada sauce in lieu od picante sauce. I like it better. I also mixed in a few tablespoons of sour creme in with the 1/2 cup enchilada sauce to make it more like chicken sour cream enchiladas. I also, based off another enchilada recipe I had my eye on spread the bottom of my baking sheet with a small layer of sour cream before placing the enchiladas in the pan. Next time I make this I am omitting the red bell peppers... I ended up picking them out and my husbands wasnt a fan of them either... I will probably put in diced onion in with the chicken and garlic in lieu of red bell pepper. We are also big fans of onion around here! ;) -
Hopping on the bandwagon... these are some tasty enchiladas! I subbed regular onions for green and upped the garlic, but didn't add any cheese inside the enchiladas (I didn't have enough, and I figured it would be lower-calorie that way anyway.) I like a creamy enchilada, so I worried these would be dry, but they tasted divine. The little bit of bacon gave these a great flavor. Thanks! This will go in my recipe rotation. -
This was a great recipe! I've made it a couple of times now and both times everyone really enjoyed them! -
This is so good. We used the picante sauce and then also put a can of enchilada sauce on it too cause we like them saucy and it was a bit dry for us but other than that is was a awesome dinner! -
I was REALLY surprised with how simple and delicious this recipe was! I substituted bacon bits to make it even easier and it was a hit with the family. I've made it twice now and have added it to my cookbook. Thanks!

Wow, this was great! I love the fact that this can be made into a healthy recipe. I used low fat cheese and wraps and they were excellent, even for those husbands that don't fancy the "low fat junk" he loved it!! I used chilli powder instead of cumin and I ommited the bacon. I also used (low fat) cheddar cheese because it was all I had at the time. Can't wait till we have it again.... thanks so much!

These were a great hit! Because picante sauce is just a term made up by Pace for their salsa, I used chunky salsa instead. These were great. I will make them again and again. The only changes I made to the recipe were leaving out the bell pepper and the bacon and I also put the cooked chicken in the food processor for a few pulses to sorta shred it. Then I put it back in the pan and added the black beans. Thanks so much for this recipe. -
I, too, used enchilada sauce instead of the picante sauce. This dish is outstanding. Even better the next day! -
We really enjoyed these enchiladas. Instead of black beans I used a can of mexican dark red beans and shredded the chicken instead of cutting into bite size pieces. So easy to make!
