      Looks good, but isn’t using ground turkey better for you? 🤔 Just sayin’…

      I tried this recipe last night, and it was super easy! My kids loved it too! Thanks for sharing! 😊

    Meh. 20 minutes wasn’t enough for me—cheese wasn’t as bubbly as I wanted, and I had to bake longer.

      Yeah, I’ve had that happen too. 20 minutes is kinda optimistic depending on your oven and how much cheese you stack in there—mine usually needs closer to 25–30 for real bubbly tops. Next time I’d bake a bit longer (or cover with foil for the first 10, then uncover).

    I don’t get why everyone loves this so much. They were kind of bland. Needs more spices in my opinion.

    1. 4 stars
      I think they taste great! Maybe try adding some chili powder or cumin next time for more flavor?

    2. 2 stars
      Bland? Really? I thought they were perfect as is. Everyone has different tastes, I guess.

  7. 2 stars
    Why do you put onions? They ruin everything! Wish I skipped that part.

    Really simple but way too greasy for my liking. Maybe I didn’t drain the beef enough? Not doing this again.

    These are fine but I used corn tortillas and they fell apart. Maybe flour is better?

    Simple and quick! But why is it called enchiladas if it’s beef?
