    Wow! How easy it was to adapt this! I had leftover chuck roast I boiled and shredded that I substituted for the chicken. Use red or green enchilada sauce, add corn or homney to stretch. want some crunch? Top with crispy tortilla strips, or crushed fritos or chips.

    Those are some great ideas! Another great twist on this recipe, add a can of cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup. Also, some sauteed bell peppers would be good too!

    It was good. I had some leftovers from tacos and added a layer of refried beans and some spanish rice to the chicken mix. The onions were still crunchy, so next time, I will cook them first or omit them.

    I suggest leaving the onions in and par-cooking them in a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes before adding them if you prefer them more cooked.

    I've made this for years with leftover fresh chicken and a rinsed and drained can of beans. I've always called it my lazy enchiladas.

    we liked this. next time I will use flour tortillas simply because my family prefers them over corn tortillas. also I used green onions and sprinkle the green bits on top to make it pretty. :)

    @Kelley, did you let it sit for a few minutes prior to serving it? It would set better (as does any casserole) if you let it rest about 10 minutes before serving it.

    This turned out pretty good with a few alternatives. Used cooked (and seasoned with salt, garlic powder, pepper and ground cumin) chicken breast tenderloins instead of canned chicken. I thought the dish needed some serious salt! Also used white corn tortillas but like Rebecca said, I think my family would prefer the flour ones better. Overall, turned out great with plenty of leftovers for son's and hubby's lunch! :-)

    This was really good. I too used chicken breasts, but I added a can of rotel to kick it up a notch. I paired it with the carrot, tomato, quinoia pilaf which we also really enjoyed.

    That should have been Carrot, Tomato, Spinach, Quinoia Pilaf.

    Tasty, but too much liquid. It needs some tweaking.

  • Made per recipe, except substituted tortilla chips for tortillas. Very tasty. Found onions slightly overpowering so will halve next time. Flavoring reminded me of the flavor of red rice.

  • Oh wait! I used one onion, instead of one CUP of chopped onion. Hah
