This was very bland! We had to cover it with salsa just to give it some flavor.

Very rich flavor. Worth the time tgo make the sauce rather than open a can of dull cream of whatever soup.

Never.again. The sauce was like paste. My husband threw it in the trash. Really bad.

I have been making this same recipe with some minor changes. I use flour tortillas and use Cumin and not coriander. I saute green peppers and onions and add to my chicken mixture which continas green chili's. When I make my sauce I melt butter and add flour and then add chicken broth and cook until thicken and then add the cumin, sour cream and shredded Montery Jack cheese. I add some of the sauce to the chicken mixture and put some down the middle of the torilla and sprinkle with cheese and roll and place in pan until all have been rolled. I then take the remaining sauce and pour over all the finished Enchilada's and sprinkle with cheese and bake. Every September I make 150 of the chicken and 150 of beef enchilada's for a church fund raiser.
