Very tasty, but thought they were more like buritoes than enchiladas. I only got 6 enchiladas but I may have used a larger size tortilla than the chief used. I think these would be better with some tomato sauce in the pan so they would be more like I was expecting enchiladas to be -- saucy and cheesy. Thanks for sharing.

I have already made these twice! Good combination of required contest ingredients. The only change I made the second time was to put all of the cheese into the filling mixture as I didn't care for the gooey top and crunchy bottom. I still baked per the recipe, just turning them once during the baking time. The result was a crunchy burrito. I also used a salsa verde as that was what I had on hand and the results were still great. Thanks for a recipe I will use often.

This dish is interesting. I probably should have added an additional jalapeno. The taste was a little milder than we like.
