  I made these at the weekend for a Mexican themed dinner party. Absolutely delicious! Fortunately the guests agreed too! Recommended.

  Very tasty! Couldn't get sour cream so used half fat creme fraiche instead and it was delicious - probably healthier too.

  I enjoyed these but they weren't a big hit with the rest of the family. I am guessing it was the fault of the refined beans I used, they were very mushy and the kids weren't keen on the texture as a result. I will try again with another make of beans, and half the mixture as there is enough to feed a small army if you don't freeze any.

  Delicious. I also added some smoked paprika to the chicken mix. I would suggest slightly warming the tortillas before rolling as they just split otherwise.

  These tasted good, but took far too long to make. The effort wasn't really worth the end result. I also made this for only 2 people and saying the rest is freezable isn't quite right. All in all, not really worth the effort. Pre-made sauce would have worked just as well.

  I agree with the comment that they took too long to make & that the effort wasn't worth it. Only ok & will not do again.

  Made these last night and agree with last 2 reviews - very fiddly and actually took double the prep time than the receipe stated. They were nice and looked quite impressive when i served them to friends however Im not sure I would make again

  Delicious. The recipe makes loads so best to freeze some for later if there are only 2 of you. I added extra chillies to make it a bit hotter and lots of coriander. Didn't find it fiddly and think the fresh flavours would beat any pre-made sauce. Made some lime guacamole to accompany and this worked really well. Will definitely make these again.

  Didn't have any refried beans so used a tin of mixed beans in chilli sauce, which worked really well. Have scaled the recipe down so I don't have to open an enchilada factory every time I make them - there are only two of us and I got 12 out of this recipe! Also think I'll use a tin of chopped toms as the base next time round. I'd also cook the chicken through in the pan so they don't need so long in the oven. My tortillas were a little over-crispy (some might say burnt!)

  Made this last night for 2 of us and it was very tasty. (I basically halved the ingredients and there are still 2 left for another night). I also added extra sour cream on the top when serving. The prep didn't take too long if you don't mind chopping and I did this earlier in the day so I could just bung it in the oven later. Will defo be making again.

  Superb crowd pleaser. I made this using mixed beans in a chilli sauce rather than adding the passata and it worked brilliantly. For a veggie option, just the mixed beans was delicious.

  I'm sorry to have to give such a scathing review but this is the only BBC Good Food recipe i've ever been unable to eat. The top wasn't too bad where the tortilla had gone crispy but the underneath was soggy and had the texture of raw pastry. The sour cream would be better served seperately rather than cooked. If you absolutely must try this recipe, PLEASE make your own refried beans, the tinned version are an atrocity, they look and smell like cheap cat food. Goodness knows what freezing would do to the sloppy texture of the tortillas but i can't imagine it would improve it. Sorry.not normally such a cow, just get cranky when i'm hungry!

  I really enjoyed this as did the friends I made it for, plus the leftovers the next day were great too. I'd recommend a few more spices too if you like a bit of a kick, I added some paprika and some cajun seasoning into the chicken mixture and it turned out great. No soggy bottoms to be seen! I thought the sour cream seemed a bit of a large quantity so I literally spread about a teaspoon on top of each enchilada then covered with grated cheese. I also wasn't sure on adding sweetcorn so omitted that but that's just personal preference. I baked mine covered in foil for the first twenty minutes, removed the foil for the last ten then put under a really hot grill for 5 to brown and bubble the cheese. All in all delicious and nothing but clean plates all round :-)

  Really enjoyed this recipe although agree bottom was a bit soggy! Next time will only put small amount of sauce on bottom of dish and will put some on top, and keep the sour cream to add when dish is cooked along with guacamole
