The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of refried beans from reading the directions. I'm guessing that the recipe calls for 8 tortillas based on servings, but what size tortillas to use? There won't be enough filling for 64 tortillas of any size. I also believe this has thrown the nutritional facts way off.

These were really good. I made them per the directions, but the sauce was thin enough that it went to the bottom of the dish and didn't cling to the enchiladas. I will make this again, but will thicken the sauce a little bit. Thanks for sharing.
