LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS RECIPE! Although we do things a little different, we use real mayo, extra cheese and extra salsa, otherwise bland like the others said. I also jazz it up with some jalapeno peppers, green onion and black olives. Whatever suits your taste, put it in!

This recipe was very easy and quick to make, although i only let cook in oven for 10 minutes and next time i think i'd add a little rice to jazz it up a little

A cheese sauce should not ever be sweet. This was disgusting, will never make again.

I made the sauce as directed, and was surprised at how bland it was. I added cumin, onion powder, and more salsa. I also spread the sauce over the entire tortilla so it wouldn't get hard in the oven. It was pretty good, but not my favorite.

I have modified the recipe slightly to suit our tastes. I spread chive and onion cream cheese on the tortilla, put shredded cheese on that, cover with the salsa/chicken, and then shredded lettuce. I wrap it all up and the cheese on top is optional. I only put it in the oven for about 3 minutes. To avoid the tortillas from getting too hard I lightly brush melted butter on the top - this helps to keep them soft.

This was really tasty, I left out the parsley otherwise my kids wouldn't have eaten it and I'm glad I did because they devoured it. They even had seconds and thirds. I agree that the prep time was way off and also the cook time. It does not need to be in the oven that long. The ends of the tortilla that was not covered with sauce became hard and inedible, other than that it was very good.
