These are so yummy and creamy! This was the first time I've ever made green chile enchiladas and I was surprised at how good they are. Due to some allergies that I have, I subbed 5 Laughing Cow Light Original Cheese wedges for the cream cheese and I made my own green chile sauce (recipe to be posted soon) for a delectable dinner. Thanks for posting this ktdid. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

I've lived in Seattle for the past 20 years. I'm a scientist who works in the pharmaceutical industry and I cook for fun and relaxation. I read cookbooks like novels and have trouble passing a used bookstore without going in. My current favorite cookbooks are Pam Anderson's How to Cook Without a Book, Jerry Traunfeld's The Herbfarm Cookbook, and Shirley Corriher's Cookwise.
