Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Great dish.

I made them and they're delicious. Just want to say that these are not enchiladas, in mexico are called "wet burritos". Authentic mexican enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. This wet burritos are awesome. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

I add rice to make more filling and go longer since i have 4 kids 2 of which are boys who eat alot. But was a great hit. Will make reg.

Sometimes I enjoy the comments as much as the recipe.

Yeah.....you can tell who knows how to cook and who doesn't.

Or perhaps LEARNING to cook.

I actually found myself unwittingly thinking as I was eating this "this is sooo good!" I cannot wait to make these again!

This was very yummy! I made these tonight and it was a hit even with a picky eater. Will definitely make again. I served them with brown rice and corn. And I used whole wheat tortillas! Didn't taste too salty to me and I actually seasoned the chicken with salt... Oh and I never had an enchilada before today! Can't wait to make them again!

When I made this the basic flavor was good, but I made a few changes. Added the beans to the chicken mixture. Eliminated the chicken bouillion cubes as they made it quite salty. You can always add salt after cooking if needed.

Just thought you may want to know that you can buy sodium free bouillon. Wyler's makes one as does Herb Ox. I'm sure there are more out there too.

I've always been able to print off your receipes why can't I now?

This recipe looks great and can't wait to try it. I have one question, why don't you include nutritional facts with your recipes? from deborder8@aol.com

I always look for nutrition information for recipes too. Anytime I can't find nutrition info I use caloriecount.about.com this site has a recipe analyzer that allows you to enter the recipe and the number of servings, click analyze and it breaks your recipe down into calories, protein , sodium etc. Hope that helps!

line 2 of the instructions says 350, I would go with that

At what temp do you bake it?

read it

Add 1 finely sliced small onion in step 1. Add a little tapatio sauce for more of a zing. This recipe would work fine as a burrito just go with a larger size tortilla and strain some of the sauce out for the inside. If you like a wet burrito, then spoon sauce over the top, sprinkle on some cheese. When the cheese is melted, remove to a plate and serve with a side of mexican rice and dollops of sour cream and Guacamole on top of the burrito, sprinkle with slice black olives and garnish with sprigs of cilantro. YUM!

I JUST LOVE THIS RECIPE...IT IS SO EASY AND I PLAN TO MAKE IT SOON. I THINK I WILL ADD SOME RIPE OLIVES, AND A "DOLLUP" OF SOUR CREAM WHEN I SERVE IT. YUMMMM! P.S. I ALWAYS GET A KICK OUT OF SOME OF THE COMMENTS FROM FOLKS ON THIS SITE. SOME JUST MAKE MY DAY, THEY ARE SO HUMEROUS! :-)

I agree,,, remember that TV show,,,, "people are funny"???'

The recipe clearly states to cook the chicken for four hours then shred.

Do we cook the chicken first? How do you shred RAW chicken?

Looks to me like the chicken is cooked for 4 hours in the crockpot and THEN shredded ...

Read step( 1 ) cook chicken in slow cooker then shred it very easy.

Yes, in Step 1 the chicken is cooked for 4 hours and then shredded.

OMG, did you read the recipe? step 1 stated to put the chicken in the crock pot with ingredients and cook for 4 hours.
