Yum! This is a filling and delicious enchilada dish. The flavor is wonderful, and the touch of heat and smokiness from the chipotle chile in adobo is wonderful. Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 58

I made this awhile ago from the VT website. DH and I both really enjoyed it and it has long been in my keeper file to make again.
