Creamy Enchiladas

The secret to these wonderful enchiladas is cream cheese, an unusual ingredient for Mexican food! Everyone I've ever served these to asks for the recipe, so it has become my standard wedding shower gift (with bakeware)! Dipping the tortillas in the sauce removes the need to oil the pan and reduces fat. Low fat cream cheese works well, too.
