These are so good! I got them from Simple & Delicious magazine .I never used flour tortillas for enchiladas before trying this recipe and I love them with the flour tortillas. Easier to work with than corn and very yummy. I make this recipe often-the filling inside is a wonderful flavor combo and so yummy!

I have been looking for easy and quick recipes for my DD and her BF to make and thus picked this to try with them. They loved it. I had this put together in a matter of minutes and had their dinner on the table within an hour. I made this as directed in the recipe with the exception of a little extra cheese on top and we had a wonderful meal. The flavor combination was very good. We only used the sour cream as a garnish and some Spanish rice on the side. Thanks looneytunesfan.
