Reading reviews I added 1/2 t of adobo, 1/2 t of cumin, and 3 t of green chiles to the chicken mix. YUMMY!

These were great! I made a few substitutions though. I used corn tortillas after reading some of the reviews. I used fat free soup and added a little cumin, chili powder, oregano and paprika. I also had to sub black beans (mashed) instead of refried because I didn't realize I was out of them. I added a can of green chilies to the beans too to stretch out the beans. We got 19 enchiladas using the corn tortillas. I will definitely make this again, family loved it.

This was a fun and easy recipe to make. It was the best enchilada recipe I have made to date.

This is OUTSTANDING!!!!! A couple things I changed to REALLY put it over the TOP. I used the refried beans/ green chilies. I also doubled this recipe. I made 1 pan with flour tortillas and one with corn tortillas. I thought the corn was much better. It had that nice Mexican flavor. And another thing I did to knock this recipe out of the ball park is- when you combine the soup and sour cream. Add some Adobo seasoning and some Cumin. You WILL NOT be disappointed. I would suggest since your making this dish, double it. Bake one and freeze one. Also pick up a extra can or 2 of Enchilada Sauce. I added 1 more can to each pan for more sauce. Enjoy, Tom Swit

Was so delicious! I added a little bit of the enchilada sauce to the soup/sour cream/chicken mixture and instead of refried beans, I put a small amount of mild taco sauce on the tortilla before the chicken soup mixture. I woke up already thinking about having some of the leftovers for lunch.

Very good and easy. I used canned enchilada sauce and chicken breast cooked and shredded the day before in the crock pot. Very good.
