It tastes good and smells good too. I just left out the green chilies.

Daisy was right... I didn\'t listen to her review! made my own for my husbands bday dinner. They were terrible no body liked them. Everyone said they tasted funny! It was nothing I did, it was the recipe. My husband didn\'t even eat them. So he had no bday dinner. Ruined the night and I wasted money on all the ingredients. Ricotta cheese doesn\'t work!!!!

Ok, this dish was so-so. I made it exactly as the recipe called for. I am a native Texan and know a thing or two about enchiladas. These are nowhere near what an enchilada is expected to be.
That being said, it wasn\\\'t terrible. We ate it. If I were to make again, I would skip the ricotta - it doesn\\\'t work - and put in cheddar instead. And I would use corn tortillas and enchilada sauce or chili sauce instead of salsa. I think they\\\'d be pretty tasty that way.

These enchiladas were like spicy, funny-tasting cannelloni, not enchiladas.
I recommend cooking the breasts in low salt chicken stock, shredding, then mixing with a taco seasoning packet according to the directions. Better yet, skip the salt and toss the shredded chicken with 1T chili powder and 1/4 t ground cumin (pick the chili of your choice, or create a blend - regular chili powder isn\\\'t spicy, chipotle has a nice kick, and ancho is a bit too spicy for me).
For the cheese, any envelope of already shredded mexican blend, or a combination of monterey jack, a good quality cheddar, and/or a true mexican cheese would taste better. Use 2/3 inside the tortillas reserve 1/3 to put on top to make cheesy, gooey, good enchiladas.
Enchilada sauce - you would be MUCH better off making either a sour cream sauce for chicken enchiladas or even using canned ranchero/enchilada sauce from the Mexican food section. I like Old El Paso mild enchilada sauce for super quick enchiladas.
I recommend a garnish of cilantro and chopped green onion for color -- the green with the red of the sauce and the white of the cheese is pretty.
