Thank you for your comment! We love it too 😊
Yummy!!! 🙌
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 ain’t no chef, but these are easy to make!
For real! I’m not good in the kitchen but I nailed these! They were delish!
I don’t get why everyone loves this so much. They were kind of bland. Needs more spices in my opinion.
I think they taste great! Maybe try adding some chili powder or cumin next time for more flavor?
Bland? Really? I thought they were perfect as is. Everyone has different tastes, I guess.
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?
I don’t get what the hype is about. Mine turned out kinda soggy. Maybe I did something wrong?
I think the sogginess might be from too much sauce or not cooking them long enough. Try baking them a bit longer next time, and maybe use less sauce!
Soggy? That ain’t right. You sure you followed the steps? My enchiladas came out great!
Best recipe ever! Made it so quick and the cheese was perfect! 🧀❤️
Plain but solid. The flavor is there, especially with the onions. I added black beans and it made it way better.
Thanks! I’m glad the onions came through—people don’t always think they matter, but they really do. Black beans is a great add too; they’d make it heartier and help balance the sauce. I’m trying that next time.
I think I’ve had better at restaurants. Sorry, not sorry! 😬
That’s too bad! I think they taste way better than any restaurant. Maybe try a different recipe next time?
Lol, I think they are pretty good for homemade! But hey, everyone has their own taste!
I followed it exactly and they were kinda salty with the enchilada sauce. If you’re sensitive to salt, I’d cut back on how much you pour.
I had the same issue—10 oz of enchilada sauce is a lot. Next time I’m gonna use a low-sodium sauce or just warm it and pour less. Glad you said something.
Maybe your cheese was salty too? I just use the whole can like the recipe says and it never tastes salty to me. Also enchilada sauce vary so much, but still… try using less sauce in the pan and not pour the extra on top? My guess.
This was confusing to me. How much sauce to use??
I suggest using the whole can of sauce for a nice flavor! It really brings everything together.
10 outta 10! I added some jalapeños for kick and it rocked! 🔥
This was super simple but I added more spices. Made them spicier and better!
Quick tip: I added some jalapeños for an extra kick! Yummy!
This was so simple that even I could make it, and I’m not the best cook. Thanks for sharing!
