Very good recipe. I used my own canned salsa (Wonderful Salsa from this site). I used low fat sour cream and due to a personal preference, I used flour tortillas. I also added 2 cups of frozen corn (thawed). Thank you for sharing your recipe. This was made for Spring PAC 2008. I will also submit a picture in the next week.

This was a nice recipe as it was easy to do and tasty. The tomato flavours were a little on the heavy side for us - tomato lovers will be happy! I found it was a bit on the thin side after cooking and the tortilla's were dry. Maybe, using store bought tortilla's, it would help to sprinkly water on them first?

Tasty! It tastes like enchiladas. Very easy to make, I used canned chicken and fresh chopped tomatoes. I recommend this for a potluck or even a family meal served with salad. Thanks Kris, for the wonderful recipe!
