Absolutely wonderful! I added a can of drained black beans, only because a friend was here for dinner and requested it. Such an easy, delicious recipe. Thank You for sharing Karen!

Quick weeknight supper; very yummy. Truly threw it together within a few minutes and it was on the table in thirty minutes. I used flour tortillas because that's what I had on hand, layered chicken and cheese like recipe says but had leftover Championship Bean Dip from youth group event and added that it as well. Hubby gave it a "thumbs up" and I'm glad to have another easy and delicious weeknight dinner to add to my mealtime lineup.

My husband, who is not really a Mexican food guy, had seconds. I used the Hatch Green Chile enchilada sauce. It had just the right amount of kick. The only thing I did different was add some sliced cherry tomatoes which were left over from a Christmas Eve relish tray. I wanted to boost the veggies. I served it with the leftover ranch sour cream dip and shredded lettuce.

I tried this but changed it to a beef with red sauce because I had it handy, but used the same method. I served it with tortilla chips,guacamole, and rice and beans. It was awesome! Next time I will try it the original way,when I have some chicken to use up.

This was so easy and tasty. It is just myself and my brother so was great for 2 meals apiece. I added some corn and topped with diced green chilies instead of olives,{personal preference}. Served with sour cream and diced tomatoes. YUM!

This was delicious and easy. The man doesn't like pies, so I rolled them up in tortillas like enchiladas and it was wonderful!!

We were having company over for dinner that included a couple of pre-teens, so along with what we had planned, I wanted to make something easy and kid-friendly too. This was perfect. I had roasted a whole turkey breast a few days prior, so I used that instead of chicken. It went over well with the kids and the adults! It was gone in a flash. Next time I'd like to add a couple of things that other reviewers tried, like black beans and sour cream. This recipe is definitely basic, but easy, quick and good go a long way these days.

Can't believe aything this good was so easy to make! I boiled a chicken breast instead of buying ready made. It shredded easily and left me with homemake chicken stock to freeze for other recipes. Once the chicken was finished, it took me longer to make some guacamole to accompany than it did to make this tortilla pie. I also added the black beans as suggested. Definetly 5 stars in taste!
