I did not like this at all. Took too long to make, made for a lot of clean up, and after all that, didn't taste like anything. Very bland and with nothing inside the enchiladas but the chicken, sausage and cheese, they seemed dry. Would not make this again.

The flavor didn't sit well with my husband and I. We won't be trying this again.
