This was very easy and delicious, the recipe made more than was stated, which was a good thing, because I placed the extra tortillas in a casserole and froze them for later.

I used mayo instead of miracle whipp just because I didn't have any on hand and the dish turned out great. It was even better reheated. This would be a good one to make and freeze to have on a night that I am short on time. I will make again!

I found this recipe to be very easy and not very time consuming. I cooked the chicken earlier in the day so it could cool and be cut up. I also cut it in smaller pieces. I thought it would be easier to roll in the tortillas if the pieces were small. For my liking I think it had too much parsley and next time I'll add more salsa,some salt,and some onion. The way the recipe is now I didn't think it had much flavor but it's got great potential with some changes

This was easy to make however, I will not make it again.The taste reminded me of “Old Time Wallpaper Paste”(Flour and Water.) The Texture is Gooey. Watch the baking time if the oven is pre-heated.

This was very good but I think it would have been better with a few additions. Like adding some chopped onions. Is also good with topping it with some sour cream and additional salsa before serving. Using flour burritos shells instead of small soft taco shells, adding filling, tucking in edges and then rolling helps to keep the sauce from running out of the shells and into the pan.
