There is no mention of when to add the green chilies, so only a 4 star review here. I almost forgot to add them! The taste was very good, but mild..which is great for many families. Next time I'll punch it up a bit with maybe 1/2 teaspoon cumin in the chicken filling. I also covered mine with foil while baking to keep the enchiladas soft and moist. No leftovers here!

Made this the other day when we had a couple for dinner & it was a big success ~ Everyone loved these enchiladas! I pretty much followed the recipe, BUT intentionally made up just 8 enchiladas (mine were very plump)! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
