I really liked this recipes. It is extremely versitile. I used a veggie meat, instead of ground beef and despite never even trying veggie meat before these enchiladas still turned out great! I also replaced the tomato sauce w/ 1 1/2 cans enchilada sauce and made only six instead of eight enchiladas. I kept everything else pretty much the same as the orig. recipe. My husband and I really liked these a lot. I will definitely make these again in the future but next time using real meat! Oh, these were good as leftovers for lunch!

Followed exact recipe. We love mexican food but I cant eat "hot" and my DH likes HOT/HOTTER/HOTTEST. This recipe satisfied both of us. It was not hot but the sauce was so full of flavor, he didnt miss the heat. This one is a keeper and I am making it again this week so my DD can try it. Thanks for a great recipe.

These are so good! Mexican type cooking is fairly new to my family, but boy are we hooked, these enchiladas are full of flavour and very filling. I substituted a tin of tomato soup for the tomato sauce (cant buy here) and the end result was great. Served with Karens Green Chili Rice and enjoyed our meal immensely.
