I love how easy this was. I needed something affordable that would prove a hit for a family birthday dinner and it was.

Yay! Love it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Jessica, I have found a new reason to be happy about making dinner again. I made these and substituted taco seasoning for fajita seasoning and added a southwest mexi-corn in the mixture and when we tried this, I was sure I had found my new favorite thing to eat. I have since experimented with several variations, and needless to say I have a deep freeze full of chicken enchiladas. If I was stuck on an island and had one food only to eat, this would be it
Jessica Fisher
That’s great to hear! Glad you’re enjoying them!

I’ve been reading here since 2009/2010. I have no idea how this recipe got past me until last week but it did. We made these tonight and everyone went back for seconds. I am so glad we found your recipe because I’d never heard of Chipotle chili powder. It really kicked up the flavor. I was worried one teaspoon of taco seasoning wouldn’t be enough but it absolutely was. To take down the spice for one of our members we used Monterey for half the batch instead of pepperjack and it was still one of the best batches of chicken enchiladas we’ve ever had. I was told it tasted like restaurant quality. Thanks for sharing your delicious creativity with us.

I give 4 stars because i haven’t tasted them yet. I have grandkids with celiac disease and will be making these for them. I think they will love them. Thanks so much.
Vicky
What kind of salsa verde would you recommend? I don’t have normally use it, just have had it at restaurants.
Jessica Fisher
I prefer Herdez or the Trader Joe’s brand. Others usually have added sugar which changes the flavors quite a bit.
Marilynn
These are superb!!!!!
Jessica Fisher
So glad you liked them!
Marilynn
As I said the chicken enchiladas are superb, but I’m having some elderly ladies over and intend to serve them.
I’m afraid they might be a little too spicy for them.
Would it hurt to use just 1/2 tea. Of the chipotle spice instead of 1 tea?
Jessica Fisher
I think that’s a great idea. Have a nice time!
Katie
I’ve made these enchiladas 5 times since early December, and had a baby in Dec, as well. Just mention that to show that these are super easy to make, and taste great! Everyone who has tried them has liked them. I made them last night when in-laws were visiting, and have another batch in the oven now because my husband was disappointed he didn’t get any last night!
I use the low-carb tortillas made with flax, so they are on my eating plan.
Jessica Fisher
Congrats on the new baby! And so glad you’re enjoying these. They are some of my favorites!
Johanna Masse
Jessica, I had emailed you a couple months ago saying how much I loved these (enchiladas). I think I am addicted!! But I had some leftover enchilada filling and no more corn tortillas, but I did have taco shells, so I used those. They came out practically the same as the others, so I wanted to share this time-saving step with you:)
I am off to make some enchiladas!

Jessica Fisher
That sounds delicious! Thanks for letting me know!
Emilia
PS: my husband is famous for his (ground beef) enchiladas. After he tried these, he said they were much better than his.
Jessica Fisher
Wow! I’ll take it. Yay!
Emilia
I made this and froze. Defrosted and baked. I was concerned with the enormous amount–it is just my husband and I… When we tried, we were amazed. These are THE best enchiladas we have ever eaten! I served with your slow cooked beans, that I mashed a little bit–kept in two cup containers in the freezer. Fantastic meal. We didn’t get tired of eating the same thing for several nights! Thank you so much for these delicious recipes.
Jessica Fisher
So glad you liked them. They are some of my favorites too!
Emily
Do you think pinto and/or black beans could be substituted for the chicken to make it vegetarian?
Jessica Fisher
I think so, but I’m not sure how you would mix in the cream cheese without smashing the beans. If you don’t mind smashing the beans, I think it would be fine. Alternatively, you could chop the cream cheese into really small bits. Let me know what you do and how it works out?
Emily
I used one can of pinto beans and it worked! I didn’t think to smash them. That would’ve probably been better but they were still yummy.
Jessica Fisher
Glad they were yummy. I didn’t meant that you should mash them. I just wondered how you could work the cream cheese in without mashing them. How did that work?
MamaG
I agree about the corn tortillas too! I usually only use corn tortillas, but recently, I made a batch of enchiladas for the freezer using flour tortillas for the first time, and did not like the texture of the tortillas at all.
Shannon
I COMPLETELY agree about corn tortillas. My husband, on the other hand, is a staunch flour tortilla supporter. Needless to say, there are many disagreements over this. I usually win. These looks great!
