This is delicious! I made this for Best of 2011 tag, and I'm so happy that I picked this recipe. It is very easy to make....the hardest part was grating all that cheese! Sending this recipe to my son who is off at college....I think he would enjoy this, plus its so easy to make. Thanks for posting your recipe!

Made these for a park-wide potluck & pretty much followed the recipe on down! However, with all the food that was there, just before serving I cut each into thirds for smaller portions! These very satisfying enchiladas, well-liked by those who chose 'em, & I managed to take home an empty serving dish! Thanks for posting your recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag]

We really enjoyed these as I thought we would with it being chicken and tons of cheese! Made as written and used recipe#419023 which was perfect for these enchiladas. Made for I Recommend Tag.

Delicious enchiladas! I used reduced fat cream cheese and homemade green chili salsa (made from Recipe #431984). I also only used about half of the cheese - just because I couldn't fit any more inside of the tortillas :) Loved the technique of sprinkling the cheese on top and then pouring the half-and-half over - it made a wonderful creamy sauce in the oven with no extra effort from me! Served with Recipe #450478. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '11
