Made this to take to a neighborhood get-together, following the recipe right on down & then before setting them out, I cut them all in half! Now to worry, They were devoured in no time & apparently with great satisfaction! I'm not big on cooked spinach, that that doesn't stop me from making recipes like this that I know others will enjoy! Thanks for sharing your enchilada dish! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]
