Chicken Enchiladas

We love Mexican food and thought we would enjoy chicken enchiladas. I have to say that we were both very disappointed. I don't know what it was about this recipe but it just wasn't for us. Joe said it was even worse the next day at lunch. Plus it was very messy to make. I had made some rice to go along with it so at least there was something to eat.

We will not be making this recipe again.

Pepper added by Joey - LOTS
