Over the Top Enchiladas

Submitted by Little Bee

"These Enchiladas are over the top! I was hungry for Mexican food and couldn't decide if I wanted beef, rice, or beans so I concoted this recipe and we loved it. My DH absolutely devours them!They are VERY rich and filling though. *Note these are not a very wet Enchilada. If you prefer more sauce you could add some Enchilada sauce."

As the Spanish say, El Yum! Alterations and specifications: I halved the recipe, used Bush's Chili Beans, flour AND corn tortillas, skipped the Monterey Jack cheese and used full-fat everything. Because of our natural aversion to cream of mushroom soup, I used only a minimum of the soup/sour cream chili topping. Next time I'll use it all as they came out just a tad dry. My fault, thus the 5 stars. These were just DEE-VINE, Little Bee. Thank you and don't hesitate to concoct stuff in the future.

Thanks for the great recipe. We really enjoyed it. The mixture seemed a little dry to me so I added a can of enchilada sauce. However, I doubled the recipe as I was taking some to a friend who just had a baby so I could have gotten a little too much of something. Then I only had 1 can of green chilis so I used a can of rotel drained instead. They were great. I will make again. I think that they would be good to make ahead and freeze, then pour the sauce on after they are thawed. Very quick and easy. Thanks again.
