    These are good. I don’t know what chili powder Ali is using, but two tablespoons would have been way too much. I cut it to one tablespoon and my kids still thought it was too spicy. These are exactly as advertised, but I have a few other recipes I prefer

    This is a great and simple recipe. I made the sauce the day before and assembled everything right before baking it. I used a blend of sharp cheddar and queso fresco. Everyone loved it! My 4 year old ate 3 enchiladas, and said it’s his new favorite food. This will be added to our rotation!

    The enchilada sauce was mild but flavourful. I thought the technique was interesting, although created a lot of dishes. The results were worth it though.

    Another winner from this book.

    I guess the name is fitting- I was SHOCKED by how much my kids loved this. They never eat enchiladas and they scarfed these down- we had no leftovers. I used corn tortillas and rotisserie chicken, the filling and sauce made enough for 12 enchiladas which fit my pan perfectly. I did add an additional tbsp of sour cream to make it less spicy for my kids. The flavor was great and it was super easy. Will make again!

    Added some Trappys hot sauce to the enchilada sauce and chicken mixture; added scallions over the cheese last 5 mins in the oven. Very good!

    Loved this one. Have a care with your chili powder - I put in the full 2 Tbsp and as the recipe is written, that did not make it welcome on my kid's menu. I probably added a good 1/4 cup of sour cream beyond the 2 Tbsp of sour cream called for to cool down the enchilada sauce. Everyone loved this recipe.

    Love this one. It’s so smart to spend time and energy on the enchilada sauce and use shortcuts for the rest (i.e. roto chick instead of cooking your own chicken).
