These are delicious! Very flavorful and simple to make. My family enjoyed them a lot! Thanks for sharing.

These enchiladas really are good and quick to assemble. I did not heat the tortillas in the microwawe since I was making the dish ahead. I saved some of the salsa and served on the side as a condiment along with strained yogurt and guacamole. Easy to make ahead as well.

This made for a really tasty mid week dinner, that the entire family demolished...even the children polished them off, and they're not keen on cheesy/creamy enchiladas at all.
I am hanging on to this one to make again.
Made for PRMR.
